(Undated) The American Red Cross is urging donors to give blood or platelets now to help maintain a robust summer supply, particularly for Type O blood, which is in high demand. Summer holidays and severe weather can disrupt collections, making scheduled donations crucial for trauma and emergency care.
All blood types are needed, and donors can learn their blood type after giving. Appointments can be made at RedCrossBlood.org, via the Blood Donor App, or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
Incentives:
- Donate by July 14 to receive a free pair of Red Cross x goodr sunglasses (while supplies last).
- Donate July 15–31 to earn a Fandango Movie Reward.
Donors must be at least 17 (16 with parental consent where allowed), weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in good health. Save time by completing your RapidPass® health history online the day of your appointment.
