The American Red Cross is partnering with Hutchinson Community College to host a community blood drive on Thursday, Sept. 4. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Blue Dragon Room inside the Parker Student Union.
Organizers encourage students, staff, and community members to take part, reminding residents that one donation can help save more than one life. Blood supplies remain in constant demand, and local donations play a key role in meeting patient needs across Kansas and beyond.
To add a little fun to the giving spirit, the Red Cross is offering a special thank-you to donors during its late-summer campaign. From Aug. 29 through Sept. 21, anyone who donates will receive an exclusive Red Cross x PEANUTS® mystery bag containing one of four limited-edition T-shirt designs—while supplies last. Donors won’t know which iconic design they’ve received until they open the bag.
