ELLIS – The American Red Cross will conduct a blood drive today, Sept. 12, at the Ellis Knights of Columbus, 1013 Washington, from noon until 6 p.m.

Click here to make an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome.

September is National Preparedness Month. Donors of all blood types are urged to give blood to help ensure our communities are prepared for emergencies. Donors of all blood types are encouraged to schedule an appointment to give by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.

Thank you for supporting the American Red Cross blood program!
