SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA — The American Red Cross is calling for blood donors of all types this fall as it looks to serve cancer patients undergoing surgery and chemotherapy.
Cancer patients use nearly a quarter of the U.S. blood supply, according to the organization.
To sweeten the deal, the Red Cross is offering $5 Amazon gift cards to all who donate from Oct. 15 to Nov. 11, thanks to Suburban Propane. Five lucky donors will get a $1,000 gift card.
