Taylorville High School is calling on the community to help save lives.

The school will host a Community Blood Drive with ImpactLife on Friday, October 17th. Donations will be taken from 8:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. inside the West Gym at 815 Springfield Road.

Anyone 17 and older can donate, and 16-year-olds may give with a signed parental consent form. Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds and bring a photo ID.

Appointments are requested. To schedule, call 217-824-2268, visit bloodcenter.org and use code 60084, or contact ImpactLife at 800-747-5401.

Those who last donated on or before August 22nd are eligible, and all successful donors will receive an ImpactLife reward—including a $20 e-gift card, a $20 charity donation, or bonus points for the ImpactLife rewards store.

ImpactLife provides blood to more than 100 hospitals across Illinois and neighboring states.
