American Red Cross finding more ways to incentivize Mississippians to donate blood
SUMMARY: The American Red Cross is encouraging blood donations in Mississippi due to a critical shortage. Donors until September 30 will receive a $15 e-gift card, while those donating from October 1 onward will get a $10 Amazon gift card and can enter to win one of three $5,000 gift cards. The Red Cross emphasizes the urgent need for all blood types, particularly type O, as only 3% of Americans donate.
