Tuesday, July 30th, 4-7 pm ImpactLife Blood Drive
Donate blood at our monthly blood drive, by ImpactLife. To register for this event, go to
www.bloodcenter.org. Walk-ins are welcome. Many variables can impact our blood inventories, such as
weather, holidays, or tragic events. Every day, patients who need blood are in crisis, and you can help by volunteering to donate. Less than 10% of the population gives blood, so donors who give on a regular basis are important to meet these needs. Schedule an appointment today! Give and get a choice of a gift card or a donation to Make-a-Wish IL or bonus points to the rewards store!

Free full-sized coloring pages will be available, or you can bring your own coloring book. Create your own bookmarks provided by the library, and have the option to laminate them for free. This program is free and open to all.
