Help Save Lives!

Red Cross Blood Drive at CIC

Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m.

Every day more than 10,000 patients rely on the generosity of blood donors to survive. There is no substitute for blood. It is precious, it is perishable, and the need for it is critical. You can put your faith into action when you give blood at CIC on Tuesday, October 24, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Remember to hydrate and eat iron-rich foods prior to the blood drive. Thank you very much for your lifesaving donation of blood! Click on the link below to sign up http://bit.ly/CICDonateBloodOCT2023
