$15 e-gift card for those who come to give blood by Feb. 28
The American Red Cross urges donors to give blood in February to help build up the blood supply after thousands of donations went uncollected last month. People of all blood types – especially those with type O negative blood – are encouraged to make and keep their donation appointments so hospitals can continue to ensure critical care for patients this winter.
Since the beginning of the year, hundreds of blood drives have been canceled and more than 16,000 blood and platelet donations have gone uncollected due to severe winter weather and wildfires. As February continues, so does the potential for additional weather systems to disrupt blood drives. Flu and other seasonal illnesses are spreading, which could also force more people to cancel scheduled donation appointments, compounding the impact to collecting lifesaving blood products.
Give with your whole heart this month. To book a time to give blood, use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
As a thank-you, all who come to give Jan. 27-Feb. 28, 2025, will get a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of choice. See RedCrossBlood.org/Flurry for details.

How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS
(1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more
information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s
license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most
states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good
health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also
have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass ® to complete their pre-
donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood
drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
