The American Red Cross will host a blood drive at the University of Maine at Augusta on Friday, February 13, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The drive will take place in the Fireside Lounge of the Randall Student Center on the Augusta campus.
To help ensure a smooth and efficient donation experience, donors are strongly encouraged to sign up for an appointment in advance. Scheduling ahead helps reduce wait times and allows the Red Cross to serve as many donors as possible.
Appointments can be made by visiting RedCrossBlood.org and entering UMaineAugusta, or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Donors can also save up to 15 minutes on the day of their appointment by completing RapidPass, which allows you to finish pre-donation reading and health history questions ahead of time. RapidPass is available at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass.
As a thank-you, individuals who donate blood may be eligible to receive a $20 e-gift card (merchant choice). Additional details are available at rcblood.org/heart.
Giving blood is a simple way to support patients in need and make a meaningful impact in the community.
