The St. Francis drive is one of four scheduled to be held over the year. The others will be in April, July and October.
The blood supply may fall to critical levels during times of low donor turnout or increased demand. St. Francis is one of the organizations that assists the American Red Cross with add-on drives when these situations arise.
The hospital hosted five drives and collected 318 units of blood last year.
