This blood drive is at Peotone Public Library District and sponsored By Peotone HS Student Council

Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. On Thursday November 13th we’ll roll up our sleeves and help save lives! Peotone Public Library District will proudly partner with the American Red Cross to hold what we expect to be the first of many blood drives. Each pint of blood collected can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more.

The Red Cross has over 135 years of experience providing humanitarian aid including more than 75 years of supplying blood to those in need.

You can make an appointment at https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive or email or call Becky at bjhase-plefka@peotonelibrary.org/708-258-3436

Walk In’s will also be welcome.
