Hendrick Regional Blood Center supplies blood to Abilene hospitals as well as several counties surrounding Taylor County. Currently, the blood supply is LOW, and the ACU Biology Department has coordinated a blood drive with the blood center to try to help out. The blood bus will be on the ACU campus on Thursday January 25th from 9 AM – 2 PM to collect blood donations. The bus will be parked in the Nelson Dorm parking lot between Onstead and Halbert-Walling science buildings. Please help us spread the word to anyone on campus and/or your community who might be willing to donate blood. It normally only takes about 20 minutes. WALK-INS ARE WELCOME! In addition, Hendrick is holding a drawing for 2 tickets to see Parker McCollum on April 4th for anyone who donates blood!
