San Diego ISD Hosts Community Blood Drive at High School March 26

San Diego Independent School District opened the doors of San Diego High School on Thursday for a community blood drive, giving residents of Jim Wells County a six-hour window to donate.

The drive ran from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the school's campus at 235 TX-359 in San Diego, Texas. By scheduling the event during a full school day and opening it to the broader public, the district made its campus a collection point for the surrounding community, not just its own students and staff.

School-hosted blood drives draw from two pools of donors simultaneously: eligible students and faculty on site, and community members who might not otherwise have a nearby venue on a weekday. With the drive stretching across six hours, the location on TX-359 offered a practical stop for anyone passing through or making a dedicated trip.

San Diego ISD listed the drive on its official events calendar, signaling the district's role as an organizer rather than simply a venue. The March date falls during a period when blood supplies nationally tend to tighten following the winter holiday donation surge, making community-level drives like this one a meaningful contributor to regional supply.
