St. John plans blood drive for June 20

MADISON – The Knights of Columbus, Assembly 2420, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 1057 Hughes Road in Madison will sponsor its regular bi-monthly American Red Cross blood drive on June 20.

The drive will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the church basement. For an appointment, visit redcrossblood.org, and click “Make your appointment.” Type “35758” in the “ZIP or Sponsor Code” box. Select the St. John blood drive from the list of events, and select the time that you want.

“The need for blood in Alabama and the nation is constant, and especially so in the wakes of the hurricanes and this increased travel season,” blood drive coordinator John Horch said. “Your participation is greatly appreciated by the Red Cross and St. John’s Knights of Columbus but, most of all, by those who need blood because of accident or illness.”

“Please take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and give the gift of life,” Horch said.

For more information, call the church office at 256-722-0130 or Horch at 772-3280.
