The Calcasieu LSU AG CENTER blood drive is two weeks away! We are scheduled for 08/18/2026 from 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM. As the date approaches, we’d love your help in spreading the word to ensure we have a fantastic turnout. Our goal for this blood drive is 6, these donations will be a great help to local patients in need!


Did you know that 80% of our blood collections come from mobile drives like the one you’re hosting? These drives are essential in providing the necessary blood products to our local hospitals and patients in need. Your efforts in promoting and supporting this event will have a profound impact on our community, impacting countless lives.
