The American Red Cross and Dunkin’ Donuts are partnering in January to help boost blood donations.

Through the Dunkin’ Donors Make a Difference campaign, anyone who visits a Red Cross blood drive to donate blood or platelets in January will receive a $5 Dunkin Donuts gift card.

The gift cards are good for any donuts or food as well as drinks, and they are Red Cross-branded and reloadable.

The Dunkin’ Donors Make a Difference campaign is available in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and some parts of New York.

In the Boston area, the blood drive begins Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency. In addition to the gift card, donors at this drive will get a long-sleeved T-shirt and a chance to win items signed by New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
