MT. VERNON, IL — Meadowbrook Christian Church in Mt. Vernon will host a blood drive in the church Fellowship Hall Thursday, December 31st from 10a-2pm. You can register to give blood that day through redcrossblood.org or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.
Michael Sheets with the church says they have partnered with the Red Cross as a fill-in or standby facility anytime they are needed.
Sheets reminds area residents that if blood drive appointments should fill up for the church, there are multiple other drives being hosted around the community in that same time frame. Visit redcrossblood.org to see where you might find an area blood drive.
