LEAF RIVER – The Rock River Valley Blood Center will host a blood drive on Monday, May 5 from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. The blood center collects donations from nine counties to support 14 hospitals and needs more than 800 units per week. Donors can make appointments or walk in.
Maggie Anderson, Donor Recruiter with the Rock River Valley Blood Center, said that donations are crucial to the community.
“When you donate blood you’re not just giving a pint you’re giving hope and you’re saving lives,” she said.
