The American Red Cross recently announced that it is experiencing the lowest number of people giving blood in the last 20 years.
Overall, people donating blood has dropped 40% over the last two decades. Luckily, there are a lot of people in Madison eager to stem that tide.
The American Red Cross’s website gives donors all the information one needs about giving blood. Donate in February and you’ll receive a $20 Amazon gift card.
