Because of the rescheduled date from the last blood drive at Creston Community High School, the bloodmobile was held back to ensure the proper amount of days between drives, so everyone can donate. It will now be from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Thursday, March 28, at CCHS, 601 W. Townline St., in Creston. For more information, go to www.redcrossblood.org.
Individuals of all blood types – especially type O – are asked to make an appointment to donate blood or platelets by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
