Approximately every two seconds a patient in the United States needs blood, according to a press release from the American Red Cross and during the month of October, donors will be eligible to win a $200 gift card, courtesy of Suburban Propane.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or redcrossblood.org.
