In recent weeks, a decline in donations has caused the American Red Cross blood supply to shrink nearly 20%.
The Red Cross needs donors to make an appointment now to give in August. As a thank-you for helping, all who come to give Aug. 1-31 will be entered to win gas for a year and will also receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.
