American Red Cross Blood Drive - North Platte CC South Campus

North Platte Community College will do its part to help alleviate the crisis by hosting a blood drive Nov. 16 at the NPCC South Campus, 601 W. State Farm Rd. All presenting donors will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card via email.

The Red Cross will be set up from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the concessions area of the McDonald-Belton Building.

The NPCC blood drive is open to the public. Appointments can be made at redcrossblood.org, through the Red Cross Blood Donor app, by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or with the blood donor skill on any Alexa-enabled device.

Completion of a RapidPass® online health history questionnaire is encouraged to help speed up the donation process. Instructions can be found at redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and on the blood donor app.

A blood donor card, driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 16 years of age (with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger must meet certain height and weight requirements.
