Blood Drive In Taylorville on Thursday

While blood donation is important regardless of when you do it, however, due to COVID the need for blood is as strong as ever. Blood donation is a procedure that takes 45 minutes to an hour. There will be a community blood drive held on February 18th from 10:30 AM until 1:30 PM at 108 West Vine Street in Taylorville.

If you have questions about eligibility, please call the Central Illinois Community Blood Center at 800-747-5401. You are eligible to give blood at this drive if you last gave blood on or before December 24, 2020.
