The American Red Cross is encouraging blood or platelets donations now to help curb a drop in donor turnout this fall and give hospitals the tools they need to care for patients ahead of the holidays.
To say thank you to donors, all who give from October 27th through November 16th, 2025, will receive a $20 e-gift card of your choice, plus be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three $5,000 prizes. For more information visit RedCrossBlood.org/Harvest.
In addition, since November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, successful donations made in November will get free A1C testing, commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes. (One test result in 12-month period; do not fast before donating).
In the local area, upcoming blood donation opportunities from November 1-16 include:
