The American Red Cross experienced a concerning shortfall in blood and platelet donations last month, according to a news release. The public can help ensure a strong blood supply this summer by making and keeping an appointment to give in the weeks ahead.
All who come to give in June will get a $10 gift card by email to a merchant of their choice, and they’ll also be automatically entered for a chance to win a backyard theater package.
