A general community blood drive will take place June 29th at the First Baptist Church.
The goal for that event is 37 units and it will run from 12:30 to six.
The final one will take place on July 5th at the Atchison Hospital from 10 until three.
They are looking for 25 units at that drive.
The blood center is incentivizing citizens to donate at these drives, as donors will be eligible for six pairs of tickets to the all-star game in Kansas City.
The Atchison Hospital, who gets this blood, is the only transfusion service within at 30 mile radius.
