ROCHELLE – A blood donation event is scheduled at First State Bank in Rochelle on Monday, April 20th, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, when the Rock River Valley Blood Center hosts a community drive. The Rock River Valley Blood Center serves as a vital link in the local healthcare chain by collecting and distributing life-saving blood products to area hospitals, and you can schedule your donation by visiting their website at rrvbc.org
“Giving blood really does feel amazing, and it only takes about ten minutes in the donor chair to make a massive impact for patients in need. We recommend that all our Rochelle donors eat a full meal within four hours of their appointment to ensure they have the best experience possible,” said Maggie Anderson, Donor Recruiter for the Rock River Valley Blood Center.
The bank is located at 304 East Highway 38, Rochelle.
