Critical call for blood donors: help save lives now with the Red Cross

$20 Amazon.com gift card by email for coming to give in August

The American Red Cross urges donors to give blood now to reinforce the blood supply as much as possible before the summer winds down. Type O blood donors are especially needed to help keep hospital shelves stocked through August.

Donors remain critically needed to support the Red Cross delivery of vital blood products, which are in demand around-the-clock as hospitals work to save lives this summer. When fewer people answer the call to donate, the blood supply can quickly shrink. Help safeguard necessary care for patients − book a time to give blood by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, by calling 1-800-RED CROSS, or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.

In thanks, those who come to give Aug. 1 to 31 will get a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. See RedCrossBlood.org/Help for details.
