Taylorville Christian Church and VisionWay School are partnering with ImpactLife to host a community blood drive on Friday, May 23. The event will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at The Hub, located at 1124 N Webster Street in Taylorville.

ImpactLife, the regional provider of blood components for local hospitals, encourages eligible donors to schedule an appointment in advance. Those unable to attend the drive can still contribute by donating at the ImpactLife Donor Center in Springfield on Wabash Avenue and crediting the Taylorville drive on the sign-in sheet.

Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental permission), weigh more than 110 pounds, and present a photo ID. Individuals who last donated on or before March 28 are eligible to give again at this drive.

All successful donors will receive an e-gift card, the option to donate to a charity, or bonus points for the ImpactLife Rewards Store.
