Donate blood on June 15 at St. John’s

MADISON – Residents can donate blood at a drive on June 15 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 1055 Hughes Road in Madison.

The Knights of Columbus Assembly 2420 at St. John’s is sponsoring its regular bi-monthly blood drive for American Red Cross. Donors can give blood on June 15 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 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,” blood 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.”

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