blood-drive-1

A reminder that a blood drive is happening today at the Bierhaus Parking lot on 2nd Street in Vincennes. The event, hosted by the Knox County Health Department in partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Indiana, runs from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Community Health Nurse Susan Yochum highlights the ongoing need for blood donations, especially with schools and colleges being out over the summer, leaving fewer blood drives. Donors will have a chance to win incentives, including tickets to an Indianapolis Colts game and the Taylor Swift Eras Tour.

Walk-ins are welcome, but scheduling an appointment is recommended by calling 812-882-8700.
