Your help is vital to
protecting your community's blood supplies for cancer patients, burn
victims, accident patients and others facing surgeries. Chances are
that you or someone special to you will need a blood transfusion
during your lifetime. The blood supply is totally dependent upon
volunteers who will take a few minutes to roll up their sleeve and
donate blood.
Blood donation is a rewarding civic duty. Many people wish they
could be more active in civic activities but can't because of time
restrictions. However, you can donate blood in less than an hour and
make an impact that can last a lifetime for someone.

If you are healthy, please do your part by donating blood. Help
protect your community, family and friends by ensuring that blood is
available at your local hospitals when it is needed. Blood has a
shelf life of only 42 days. Fortunately it is a renewable resource,
but it depends on people who care.
The Central Illinois Community Blood Center is a not-for-profit
organization that provides blood for 20 local hospitals in central
and southern Illinois. Please call (217) 753-1530 for more
information about donating.
