The Central Illinois Community Blood Center and Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce are partnering to host a community blood drive this Friday in the square in Taylorville. The bloodmobile will be in the square from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.

Caleb Parker, a Donor Relations Consultant with the C-I-C-B-C, says that all presenting donors will receive a voucher for a free t-shirt depending on whether they “bleed red” or “bleed blue”.

Parker wants to remind everyone that a little time out of your day to donate could save multiple lives.

If you’d like to schedule an appointment to donate, you can call Kristan Patnode at 217-287-7000 or visit www.bloodcenterimpact.org.
