American Red Cross: Blood Drive

The American Red Cross runs a blood drive at the West Loop location on Monday, August 24, from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Trained staff handle all donations, and the need is steady: every two seconds someone in the U.S. requires blood. Registration is required in advance through the Red Cross or by calling 800-733-2767. Bring a photo ID and eat a healthy meal beforehand.
