Carter BloodCare offers new blanket as November thanks for giving

Carter BloodCare is offering a plush new blanket to thank local blood donors for giving in November.

 

Carter BloodCare’s annual blanket incentive has become a popular holiday tradition. The 2026 light blue-and-white blanket is available while supplies last.

Eligible donors can give blood starting at age 16 with parental consent; those 17 and older can donate on their own. Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds and feel well at the time of donation.

Carter BloodCare donors help Texans with life-threatening injuries from car wrecks; children fighting cancer; burn patients; older adults with health issues; organ transplant recipients; new mothers and others in need this holiday season.
