'Emergency blood shortage:' Donate blood to Red Cross, get a $5 Amazon gift card

MILWAUKEE -- To help address the current emergency blood shortage, all who come to give blood or platelets with the American Red Cross July 29 through Aug. 29 will receive a $5 Amazon.com gift card via email.

As of Monday, July 29, the Red Cross had less than a three-day supply of most blood types available, and less than a two-day supply of type O blood.

Individuals can schedule an appointment to give now by activating Amazon’s Alexa Red Cross Blood Skill by saying, “Alexa, find a blood drive,” or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
