Knights of Columbus urge donors to attend blood drive

MADISON – Residents can ‘give the gift of life’ at the next blood drive at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church at 1055 Hughes Road in Madison

The Knights of Columbus, Assembly 2420 at St. John is sponsoring its regular, bi-monthly blood drive for American Red Cross. Hours for the drive will be Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Donors stations will be set up in the church basement.

For an appointment, visit redcrossblood.org, and click “Make your appointment.” Type “35758” in the “ZIP or Sponsor Code” box. Select the St. John drive from the list of events, and select the time that you want.

“The need for blood in Alabama and the nation is constant, and especially so in the wakes of the hurricanes and this increased travel season,” spokesperson John Horch said. “Your participation is greatly appreciated by the Red Cross and St. John’s Knights of Columbus, but most of all by those who need blood because of accident or illness.”

“Please take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and give the gift of life,” Horch said.

For more information, call the church office at 256-722-0130 or Horch at 256-772-3280.
