RRVBC needs to keep their blood supply levels up as holiday weekends are typical times for high blood usage due to travel, trauma, and other injuries.

Individuals feeling healthy and well are encouraged to make an appointment to donate blood now by calling 815-965-8751, through the myRRVBC app or online.
