Santa Barbara Airport will host a community blood drive on Thursday, March 19, 2026 from 9am to 3pm inside the Historic Ovington Terminal (500 Fowler Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93117).

For questions about eligibility, visit the Red Cross website. 

All presenting donors will receive:

• Complimentary parking (for the duration of their appointment)
• A $15 Amazon.com gift card via email courtesy of Red Cross
• A souvenir bento-style container courtesy of Delta Air Lines
• Plus: all successful donations will receive free A1C testing!
