Blood Drive in Okawville Tuesday

An American Red Cross Blood Drive will be held Tuesday, September 22 at St. Peter United Church of Christ Fellowship Hall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every two to three seconds, and most people need blood in at some point in their lifetimes.
