The Red Cross is looking for people to donate blood... and it's willing to pay for it.
The Red Cross is now offering Amazon gift cards to people who donate blood or blood platelets.
The offer is good starting today (Monday) and through August 30th.
According to the Red Cross, the nation is facing a severe mid-summer shortage of all types of blood.
A spokesperson says the organization needs to collect more than 13,000 donations a day, worldwide, to prevent a shortage.
