The American Red Cross says summers relaxed pace is also slowing down blood donations

The American Red Cross says summer’s relaxed pace is also slowing down blood donations. The Red Cross says blood donations have fallen by 25% nationwide since July 1, but the need is constant. To incentivize blood donations, the Red Cross is offering donors $20 Amazon gift cards by email. The Red Cross has donation sites all across the state. You can check online to see whether you can donate and make an appointment.
