HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Central Christian School will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on March 7 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the CCS Commons.

In their January update, the American Red Cross states that it is "facing a national blood crisis- our worst blood shortage in over a decade, posing a concerning risk to patient care." The Red Cross has had less than a one-day supply of critical blood types in recent weeks.

They work with hospitals around-the-clock to help meet the needs of patients, but blood product distributions to hospitals are currently outpacing the number of blood donations coming in.

The Red Cross asks you to make an appointment online or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.

Central Christian School is located at 1910 E. 30th Avenue, Hutchinson
