We Know You've Got it in Ya!

The Presbyterian Church of Western Springs is hosting a Blood Drive this Sunday. Donating blood is a safe and easy way to help the community and we hope you'll consider becoming a donor.

The Presbyterian Church of Western Springs and LifeSource are hosting a Blood Drive this Sunday, October 14 from 10:30am to 3:00pm.  The Drive is open to the community and we welcome anyone who would like to come participate.

Donating blood is safe and easy and it does so much to help critical health needs in our local community.  90% of the population will need blood during their lifetimes, yet fewer than 5% of eligible donors regularly donate.  While that statistic is staggering, the good news is that you can help!

To participate in the Blood Drive, you must be at least 17 years of age (16 with written parental permission), be in good health and weigh at least 110 pounds.  It also has to have been at least 56 days since your last blood donation.
