The American Red Cross is urging donors to make appointments now to give blood or platelets and help ensure a steady supply for patients in need this fall. While natural disasters and emergencies can impact collections, the need for blood remains constant.
All who donate between September 22 and October 19 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, and those who give between October 20 and November 16, 2025, will receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice and be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three $5,000 gift cards.
