Red Cross to offer $20 Amazon gift cards to incentivize blood donations in August
SUMMARY: The American Red Cross is encouraging Mississippians to donate blood throughout August to address a statewide shortage. From August 1 to 31, donors at participating locations will receive a $20 Amazon gift card. All blood types are needed, especially Type O, as supplies are critically low. The Red Cross has emphasized the importance of maintaining the blood supply as hospitals require constant blood products to save lives. Donation opportunities will be available in various counties, including Forrest, George, Harrison, Jackson, and Stone. For more information and to make appointments, visit the Red Cross blood donation website.

SUMMARY: Mississippi officials are considering building a casino in Jackson to boost economic development and tourism. In March, House Bill 1989 proposed a program to finance a gaming center downtown, but it failed to pass. A coalition of business leaders, including former Gov. Haley Barbour, has since advocated for a casino in Jackson, citing the city’s population decline and the growing suburbs. However, state law restricts casinos to coastal or river areas, so legislative changes would be needed. Some industry leaders oppose the idea, fearing it could lead to more casinos in other cities and hurt existing establishments.
