Unfortunately, less than 5 percent of
the population donates blood to support the other 95 percent. We
need community members to step up and help replenish the local blood
supply. We especially need new blood donors to increase the amount
of negative types available. As always, all types are needed on a
daily basis; however, the negative types are in great need at this
time.
Donating blood is safe and easy to do.
If you are at least 17 years of age (16 years old with signed
parental permission), weigh 110 pounds or more, are in good health,
have ID, and have not donated in the past 56 days, please call (217)
753-1530 or come to the blood center at 1134 S. Seventh St. in
Springfield.
Hours at the blood center:
Monday, 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Tuesday through Thursday, 7 a.m. until
6 p.m.
Friday, 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
You can save
someone's life.
