ALTON — The Red Cross bloodmobile will be at St. Katharine Drexel Church in Alton located at Hidden Springs Road on Monday, November 12th. Donor hours are from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. All blood types are needed at this time.
A blood donation is truly a gift from one heart to another. For patients needing a transfusion, there is no other source for this precious resource than a caring volunteer donor. There can be no better gift to give.
Every 2 seconds in the United States, someone needs blood. As the holidays approach, blood supplies tend to decline, often to extremely low levels. A major accident or other disaster could literally wipe out existing inventories.
It only takes about an hour to give blood. The actual donation takes between six and 10 minutes.
Donors complete a brief medical history and check up before giving blood and enjoy refreshments afterward.
