To mark National Blood Donor Month and help increase awareness about the need for blood, Dunkin' Donuts and the American Red Cross are teaming up for the annual "Give a Pint, Get a Pound" campaign, which provides a coupon for a free pound of Dunkin' Donuts coffee to all blood donors at Red Cross drives in Connecticut this month. In addition, Dunkin' Donuts restaurants are hosting blood drives throughout the month.Patients in hospitals need blood every day, and one donation of blood may help save three lives. Because winter is often a challenging time for blood collections due to severe weather and flu season, the "Give a Pint, Get a Pound" campaign helps boost blood collections when patients need it most.
