ALAMEDA COUNTY, CA — The American Red Cross is calling on eligible blood donors — especially type O — to pitch in this holiday travel as travel plans and winter weather impact the blood supply.

"A patient’s need for lifesaving treatment doesn’t take a vacation or stop for nasty weather," the Red Cross said in a press release. "Blood and platelets are needed every day for those receiving treatment for cancer and leukemia, accident and burn victims and surgical patients, among others."

Donors who give from Dec. 19 to Jan. 5 will get a free, long-sleeved t-shirt.
