The CBC said there are facing a low supply of type O blood.

Everyone who registers to donate will receive a $10 Kroger gift card.

Anyone who donates blood between now and April 7 will also be automatically entered in the “Hop In and Donate” drawing to win a 35 pound Esther Price chocolate bunny, the spokesperson said.
