Red Cross Offering Gift Card For Donors

As we enter the holiday season, the American Red Cross continues to endure a blood shortage. Natural tragedies this fall caused many blood drives to be cancelled and then couple in the fact that blood is needed for those caught up in the tragedies such as the fires and storms. My wife experienced the need for blood this week when she fell and broke her hip. One never knows.

Those who donate blood now through December 19 will receive a $5 Amazon.com gift card. Upcoming blood drives include:
