In March, the American Red Cross urges the public to give blood to help those who need it most. Over 30,000 donations have gone uncollected since the beginning of the year due to winter weather disruptions. As the seasons change and the threat of severe weather increases this spring, now is the time to give to help recover from the shortfall in lifesaving blood products. This month, the Red Cross will expand its health offerings to perform free A1C testing on successful blood donations. A1C testing is commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes, a disease that impacts more than 38 million people in the U.S.
Donors can expect to receive the results of their A1C testing on their first successful donation in March within one to two weeks through the Red Cross Blood Donor App or on the donor portal.
Additionally, those who come to give March 1-31, 2025, will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card via email. Details on the March health offer and promotion can be found at RedCrossBlood.org/March.
