Blood shortage -- help and get great "perks"

Severe winter weather across much of the country throughout January forced the cancellation of about 925 American Red Cross blood drives, resulting in more than 31,000 uncollected blood and platelet donations.
In the Northeast alone, 204 blood drives were canceled since the beginning of January, resulting in nearly 6,670 uncollected blood and platelet donations.
