NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — NewsChannel 5 partners with the American Red Cross on Giving Tuesday.

Red Cross officials say blood donations drop during the holiday season.

"Between Thanksgiving and New Years we tend to see a decline in blood donations due to holiday travel, engagements that people have; so people tend to put donating blood last on their list." said Communications Manager Tiffany Taylor.

The process is easy, but it's been made even easier with the Red Cross' RapidPass online forms. People can fill out paperwork ahead of time online to save themselves some time when donating.
