ROSS COUNTY, Ohio — As the holiday season approaches, the American Red Cross invites the community to make a difference in the lives of patients in need by participating in the November blood drives. With the generosity of volunteer blood donors, giving blood can become a cherished holiday tradition.

[FOR DRIVES NOV. 1-9] From October 21 to November 9, all individuals who visit our blood donation centers will be rewarded for their life-saving contributions. Each donor will receive a $10 e-gift card to enjoy a complimentary lunch. Furthermore, donors during this period will automatically be entered into a sweepstakes with a chance to win a $5,000 gift card. The sweepstakes will feature three lucky winners, one for each week. Full details can be found at RedCrossBlood.org/lunch.

[FOR DRIVES NOV. 10-30] During the month of November, the American Red Cross is spreading holiday cheer by celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the beloved film Elf.
