blood drive

The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31, at DePue High School, 204 Pleasant St.

The Red Cross is experiencing a national blood shortage after fewer donors than needed gave blood over the summer, drawing down the national blood supply and reducing distributions of some of the most needed blood types to hospitals.

Thousands of additional donations currently are needed to replenish the Red Cross blood supply.
