American Red Cross officials said they experienced a “concerning shortfall” in blood donations last month, collecting 26,000 fewer donations than needed to meet patient needs in May.
World Blood Donor Day is June 14, and Red Cross officials are offering a $10 gift card for donors through the end of June, to a merchant of their choice. June donors will also be entered for a chance to win a backyard theatre package. For more, see RedCrossBlood.org/June.
Potential donors can schedule an appointment at 800-733-2767 or by visiting RedCrossBlood.org.
