St. John plans blood drive
MADISON – Teenagers (who qualify) and adults can take time to help others at an event sponsored by Knights of Columbus, Assembly 2420 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.
Knights of Columbus will sponsor an American Red Cross blood drive on Dec. 15 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the church’s basement. This group sponsors a blood drive bi-monthly.
To schedule an appointment, visit redcrossblood.org and type “35758” for the zip code. Select St. John’s blood drive, 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,” drive coordinator 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,” Horch said. “Please take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and give the gift of life.”
St. John’s address is 1057 Hughes Road. For more information, call the church office at 256-722-0130 or Horch at 256-772-3280.
