Our App today is called American Red Cross Blood Donor App. These dog days of summer can cause all kinds of extreme shortages of blood. This app can help you give the gift of life through blood donations. It helps you find where the Red Cross is running blood drives near where you live. You can set up your own appointments to donate to the Red Cross. The app will let you know what are the results of that mini-physical you get before you donate. One cool thing about this app. People want to know that they're doing some good. The app will inform you when the blood you donate is on the way, and helping to save a life. You'll also know when the Red Cross really needs your help and there's a critical need for blood. You can also earn milestone badges for your generosity. Blood Donor American Red Cross is a free app on iTunes and Android.
