As the holiday season approaches, Vitalant is encouraging eligible donors in Northern Nevada to give blood to help maintain the blood supply.
Anyone who donates blood through Vitalant in November will be entered for a chance to win one of three $10,000 prepaid gift cards for a shopping spree through the organization's Donor Rewards program.
Donors who give between November 1 and November 22 can also redeem an exclusive Winnie-the-Pooh T-shirt, while supplies and terms and conditions apply.
Those who schedule and complete a donation between November 23 and November 30 using the code THANKFUL-2026-V will receive a $20 rewards gift card, subject to terms and conditions.
