Now that you've sprung forward and your body has made the semi-annual adjustment (mostly), the American Red Cross is hoping that you'll take the time to schedule a blood donation.
A number of donation opportunities have been scheduled in Guilford and surrounding counties.
Donors of all blood types, especially type O donors and platelet donors, are encouraged to make — and keep — appointments. You can book a time to give by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
The Red Cross is even offering an extra incentive to donate this month. All who come to give blood, platelets or plasma through March31 will receive a $10 Visa® Prepaid Card by email. Plus, they'll be automatically entered for a chance to win a $3,000 Visa Prepaid Card – which could help toward expenses like gas or groceries. There will be five lucky winners. Details are available at rcblood.org/help.
