The American Red Cross is offering incentives for donors who help address a critical need for blood supplies.
Donors of all blood types, especially those with type O blood, are needed as the fall season begins, according to the Red Cross. Those who donate by Sept. 30 will receive a $15 e-gift card to a retailer of their choice.
Appointments can be made by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
Details on blood donation opportunities from Sept. 23-Oct. 15 can be found below:
