The Times
The American Red Cross encourages people to help meet the urgent need for blood and platelets by resolving to give blood this January — National Blood Donor Month.
The critical role of blood and platelet donors has been celebrated each January for nearly 50 years during National Blood Donor Month, which coincides with one of the most difficult times to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients. Busy holiday schedules, extreme winter weather and seasonal illnesses often impact donor turnout this time of year.
To encourage blood and platelet donations throughout the month, presenting donors will receive a voucher for a free medium hot coffee and a free classic donut, redeemable at participating Dunkin’ restaurants in the Greater Philadelphia region, while supplies last. The vouchers are not redeemable for cash.
Make an appointment to donate by downloading the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1–800-RED CROSS. To learn more about hosting a blood drive, visit RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.
