The Baxter County wellness committee is hosting a blood drive Friday from 10 until 3. The event will be held in the second floor courtroom of the Baxter County Courthouse.Sue Edwards, director of human resources for Baxter County, says since Baxter Regional Medical Center is a Red Cross blood bank, all units given Friday will be kept and utilized here, unless needed elsewhere.

Edwards encourages community residents to recall that many, if not all, have had family or friends who have been in need of this life giving gift at some point and to consider participating in the blood drive. Donors are needed every day to keep supplies available to those in need.

Those interested in participating may call Edwards at 870-701-5300 to block an appointment time.

The goal is 25 units. The drive is open to anyone interested in making a donation.
