There is an urgent need for blood in the Western New York area. Your blood donation will help save lives and will get you a few goodies as well.

The American Red Cross in Buffalo has announced a few incentives for those who donate blood this month.

According to The American Red Cross, anyone who donates between November 29th and December 16th will be entered to win a private screening of "The Matrix Resurrections" and a 10-dollar Amazon gift card. To find a donation clinic in your community, visit redcrossblood.org.

The need for blood is at it greatest in a decade and, since the pandemic began, the donations have dropped off significantly. This is a great way to help our Western New York community and also have a little bonus for your holiday shopping.

We are blessed with some of the most generous people here in Buffalo. We have so many people whop not only offer their time and money, but their gifts of blood donations as well. Each week on Clay and Company on WYRK, we will be highlighting some of the organizations who go above and beyond to help out our neighbors who may just need a hand up.

Visit the Clay and Company Cares page or tune in to our show each week to see if one of your favorites will be our Clay and Company Cares charity of the week.

The giving season is here and it sure would be great if you could help the American Red Cross in Buffalo with their efforts to resupply much needed blood.
