Blood donors critically needed
There is a critical need for blood donors as hundreds of blood drives across the Chicago area have been cancelled as well as, more than 4,000 across the country. According to FEMA and the Surgeon General, donors can and should continue to visit blood centers and drives to donate. Vitalant (formerly Lifesource) blood centers currently have extended hours, and one is right next door at 100 E. Roosevelt Rd. in Villa Park. Every donation can save as many as three lives. Register to donate at vitalant.org.
