The Washington Public Library is holding a blood drive in conjunction with ImpactLife on Tuesday the 17th from 11AM to 2PM. In order to donate you must make an appointment with Tammy Valentine at the Library. The drive is going to be held on the second floor in the Nicola Stoufer and Washington State Bank rooms. You are asked to please eat before donating and to bring a photo ID with you. According to the ImpactLife website, the two blood types that are critically needed right now are O- and A+ and less than 10% of the population gives blood, so donors that give on a regular basis are important to meet these needs. ImpactLife is a not-for-profit community organization providing blood services to 124 hospitals in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin, as well as resource sharing partners across the country. ImpactLife operates 22 Donor Centers and holds approximately 5000 mobile blood drives annually to provide blood components needed for patient transfusions at hospitals throughout our region.
