SOUTH BEND – The holiday season is a time of giving, and one local organization is asking for your help as they try to save lives.

The South Bend Medical Foundation is asking for donations of all types of blood.

But they especially need O-Negative and O-Positive.

In January, all donors are entered into a raffle each week for a bill payment up to $350.

You can also get a free t-shirt or coupons.

January is National Blood Donor Appreciation Month.
