(New Castle, PA) As November of 2025 gets underway, Vitalant is encouraging Pennsylvanians to give blood this month to both give back to people that need it and to possibly win one of two expensive prepaid gift cards. All blood types are needed, but O blood and platelets are needed the most. If you donate blood, platelets or plasma during the month of November, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win one of two $10,000 gift cards in Vitalant’s Shopping Spree Giveaway. November is also National Prematurity Awareness Month and blood transfusions are needed for premature infants that commonly have anemia. According to a release from Vitalant, here are the dates, times and locations for some upcoming local blood drives, how you can make an appointment and a online link for more information about Vitalant’s Shopping Spree Giveaway:
