The American Red Cross will be holding a blood drive Wednesday from 5 until 5 at Baxter Healthcare Corporation located at 1900 Highway 201 North in Mountain Home. May typically sees lower appointments for donations and can be taxing on the blood supply.

– Baxter Health from 11 to 5 on Friday;
– Good Samaritan Society Mountain Home on May 30 from 9 to 1;
– Baxter County Library on May 30 from 9:30 to 1:30; and
– VFW Ozark Post #3246 from 11:30 to 3:30.
The Red Cross will have other opportunities to donate blood around the Twin Lakes Area including:
– Harrison City Hall on May 30 from 10 to 2;
– Independent Living Inc. on June 6 from 10 to 2;
– Boone County Library on June 7 from 10 to 2;
– Salem Church of Christ on Tuesday from noon to 4; and
– in Calico Rock at the Izard Regional Hospital on May 29 from 10 to 2.
All blood types, especially Type O blood and platelets, are needed.

The Red Cross has partnered with Tetris, to celebrate their 40th anniversary and build the blood supply. Donors who give from May 20 to June 9 will receive an exclusive Tetris + Red Cross T-shirt while supplies last, and be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to New York to meet Tetris creator, Alexey Pajitnov.
