Rend Lake Blood Drives

Rend Lake Blood Drives

Rend Lake College is partnering with the American Red Cross to host four blood drives on campus during the 2021-22 academic year.

The blood drives will be held in the South Oasis building on the main RLC campus, and the times are from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The dates include Aug. 23, Nov. 22, Jan. 24 and March 21.

According to the American Red Cross, someone in the US needs blood or platelets every two seconds. Because whole blood, plasma and platelets cannot be manufactured, the Red Cross depends on the public to roll up their sleeves to sustain the blood supply.
