The Taylorville Christian Church & VisionWay School Blood Drive will be held on Friday, March 28, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at The Hub at Taylorville Christian Church, 1124 N. Webster St. Appointments can be made by scanning the QR code on event materials, emailing Steve Basham at steve.basham@taylorvillechristian.com, or calling ImpactLife at (800) 747-5401.
Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 with a signed parental consent form) and weigh at least 110 pounds. A photo ID is required. Those who last donated blood on or before January 29 (for the Morrisonville drive) or January 31 (for the Taylorville drive) are eligible to give.
Successful donors at both events will receive an eGift card, bonus points for the ImpactLife Rewards Store, or the option to donate to charity. The March featured reward is a St. Patrick’s Day T-shirt.
Blood donations play a critical role in local healthcare, helping patients in hospitals across Illinois and beyond. Community members are encouraged to participate and make a life-saving impact.
