The American Red Cross and Gardner White are teaming up again for a two-day blood drive to help people in need of lifesaving blood.

This two-day event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, and Thursday, Aug. 14.

Donors of all types are needed, but especially those with type O blood and those giving platelets.

You can make an appointment by going to RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS, or using the Red Cross Blood Donor App and code gardnerwhite.

All presenting donors who come to give at a Gardner White store will receive a $50 coupon toward a purchase of $399 or more, while supplies last, and have a chance to win a $500 gift certificate. Also, donors who come to give during the month of August will get a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice.
