In addition, individuals who donate from May 25-29 will receive a Red Cross T-shirt while supplies last, the organization announced May 21.
“Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs a lifesaving blood transfusion,” the Red Cross said. The organization needs to collect more than 13,000 blood and platelet donations every day to provide adequate blood supplies to about 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers nationwide.
