HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The American Red Cross is continuing their annual “Battle of the Badges” blood drive because of illness last week and lower turnouts for the last blood drive then they had hoped for. They have now scheduled another blood drive which will be this Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., at the Dollar Sense Store at 1301 North Main.
They’re asked that if you didn’t donate blood last week to please consider doing so this Thursday. They says although it’s been warm this week, there are other places where the weather is cold and illness is impacting blood donations. It had lowered donations nationwide.
