The Taylorville community is teaming up with ImpactLife to host a local blood drive on Thursday, June 26th. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Christian County Extension Office Auditorium, located at 1120 North Webster Street.

ImpactLife, which supplies blood to area hospitals, encourages residents to donate. Anyone who gave blood before May 1 is eligible to donate again. Donors must be at least 17 years old—or 16 with parental permission—and weigh over 110 pounds. A photo ID is required.

If you can’t attend the drive, you can donate at the ImpactLife Springfield Donor Center; mention “Taylorville Community” at check-in.

Appointments are encouraged and can be made by calling 800-747-5401 or visiting bloodcenter.org and using sponsor code 60145.

All successful donors will receive an ImpactLife reward, including e-gift cards or bonus points for items like this month’s featured reward—a picnic blanket.
