The American Red Cross is working to restock critical blood products uncollected due to the impact of Hurricane Helene in the Southeast. Donors outside of affected areas are encouraged to make an appointment to help keep the blood supply stable in the weeks to come.
The storm and its aftermath have so far led to the cancellation of more than 100 blood drives. Donations in the Southeast are key to keeping the organization’s nationwide network stocked.
All who come to give blood, platelets, or plasma now–Oct. 31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card by email and be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three $5,000 gift cards. For further details, click here.
