Barton Community College will host a blood drive from 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. Feb. 24 in the Kirkman Practice Gym. Donors will receive a $15 gift e-gift card from the American Red Cross to the merchant of their choice (to be mailed to the donor within 30 days of donation).
Donors are encouraged to set an appointment using the American Red Cross app, which is available on Google Play or the Apple Store, or visit redcross.org. Donors can also fill out a rapid pass application via the app or website on the day of donation prior to their arrival at the donation location, which can reduce the time they spend at the blood drive by up to 15 minutes. Walk-ins will still be accepted, but the new system is designed to make the process more streamlined.
