It's that time of year for the red cross to show appreciation for its blood donors.


This month is National Volunteer Month for the Red Cross.

And, to show appreciation, it's partnering up with Dunkin' Donuts to show how much donors really mean to them. the idea is to "make a difference"


"Throughout the month of January a lot of donors will receive a five dollar card to Dunkin Donuts. It's just a nice way for Dunkin Donuts to partner with the American Red Cross and give back to the community," said Colleen McCabe of the American Red Cross.


The Red Cross is hoping that this month will also bring in more donors to help with the increased need for blood donations locally.
