Three area blood drives have been scheduled as the American Red Cross deals with an emergency shortage of blood and platelets. The first will be in Phillipsburg Tuesday at the First Assembly of God from noon to 6:30. The next blood drive is in Quinter on July 17th from noon to 5:30 at the Church of the Brethren, and the third will be on the 18th at the Stockton City Hall from noon to 6:00.
All blood types are needed. Donors ages 16 to 21 can register to win a $5,000 scholarship.
