Donors will be rewarded
Taking Note
Donors will be rewarded
Blood donors are being rewarded for their good deeds.
In February, donors to the American Red Cross will receive a $5 Amazon gift card via email.
The effort comes as a measure to thank its donors for helping to ensure a stable blood supply, according to a press release from the organization.
Also, the Red Cross is testing all donations for COVID-19 antibodies. (These can appear in a donor’s immune system regardless of whether or not the individual developed symptoms.) These antibodies may be able to help current coronavirus patients fight off the coronavirus.
Antibody test results are generally available within a week or two of testing through the Red Cross Blood Donor App or donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org.
The following are nearby blood drives scheduled in February:
•Berne: Noon to 6 p.m. Feb. 16 at South Adams Senior Center, 825 Hendrick St.
•Bryant: 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 22 at Bryant Wesleyan Church, 209 S. Hendricks
•Redkey: 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 16 at Redkey Faith Ministries, 9811 Indiana 67
