A blood drive will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Monday at St. Bernard Church, 95 E. Corydon St.

January marks National Blood Donor Month, a time to recognize the lifesaving contributions of blood donors and raise awareness about the ongoing need for donations. To honor this important occasion, the Community Blood Bank is offering a special thank-you gift to all donors: a limited-edition T-shirt for those who donate blood in January. The start of the year is a perfect time to commit to giving back and making blood donation a habit.

Each year, the holiday season sees a decline in blood donations, making this an especially crucial time for donations to help support hospitals and patients in need. By donating blood in January, you’ll not only save lives but also receive a commemorative shirt to show your support for this vital cause.

Call (814) 596-3395 to schedule your appointment to donate.

Appointments are encouraged to reduce your wait time but are not required.

Walk-ins will be taken as space allows.
