Throughout the winter months, the American Red Cross faces the challenge of collecting life-saving blood products. To help recognize the importance of giving blood and platelets and honoring those who roll up a sleeve, Dunkin' of Tennessee teamed up with the American Red Cross to provide 13,000 vouchers valid for a free donut from Dunkin' for Red Cross donors in Tennessee.

During March, Red Cross donors received the voucher for a classic donut, redeemable at participating Dunkin' restaurants in the Tennessee region.

As COVID-19 continues to affect everyday life, people may not be thinking about blood donations. However, blood and platelets are needed each day to help patients battling diseases and facing the unexpected. Donating blood is an easy way to care for each other and ensure hospitals have the blood products patients rely on.
