The Red Cross is gathering and sending blood products to Florida to support patients in areas affected by Hurricane Ian. Even though we’re thousands of miles away, you can help people in need by donating blood at an upcoming Intermountain-sponsored blood drive. Donating blood also counts as an opportunity to earn community cash points through iAct, Intermountain’s caregiver volunteer program.
