(WKBN) — The American Red Cross is hosting blood drives across the Valley in an effort to keep the national blood supply from falling to shortage levels.

According to a release from the Red Cross, the organization has seen a shortfall of about 25,000 blood donations in the first two months of summer. The organization says it needs donors now in order to keep the national blood supply from falling to shortage levels.

In order to encourage donation, the Red Cross is offering a $10 e-gift card to a movie merchant of the donors’ choice, as well as the chance to win a 3-night trip to a New York shark-diving experience.
