The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood to support cancer patients and other patients during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.
The bloodmobile will be coming to Elgin later this month. The Knights of Columbus Hall will be the location for the bloodmobile when it comes to Elgin on Wednesday, Oct. 19. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Red Cross must collect about 14,000 blood donations every day to help patients, and volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those needing transfusions. Donors of all blood types are needed.
