[LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2026] \u2014The American Red Cross urges people to leave a lasting impact by giving blood or platelets now. Donors of all blood types, especially those with type O blood, are needed to keep the blood supply steady ahead of the holiday rush.<\/p>\n
As we lean into fall activities, keeping blood and platelet donation appointments on the books is crucial to ensuring hospitals have the tools they need to care for patients this fall. In thanks, all who come to give Oct. 19-Nov. 22, 2026, will get up to $20 in Gift Cards \u2500 that’s a $10 Amazon Gift Card by email and 500 bonus points, which can be redeemed for a $10 e-gift card through Blood Donor Rewards! Visit RedCrossBlood.org\/Maze<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Get into the spirit of saving lives. Visit RedCrossBlood.org<\/a>, call 1-800-RED CROSS or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App to schedule a donation appointment.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Empower your health<\/p>\n November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. To help empower and educate our blood donors, in November, successful donations will once again get free A1C testing, commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes.

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass\u00ae 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<\/a> or use the Blood Donor App.<\/p>\n Amplify your impact \u2212 volunteer!\u00a0<\/p>\n Another way to support the lifesaving mission of the Red Cross is to become a volunteer blood donor ambassador at Red Cross blood drives. Blood donor ambassadors help greet, check in and thank blood donors to ensure they have a positive donation experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Volunteers can also serve as transportation specialists, playing a vital role in ensuring lifesaving blood products are delivered to nearby hospitals.
