Area residents interested in giving blood at the Community Blood Drive on March 17 are encouraged to make appointments soon, as space is limited. Time slots for appointments will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. Photo ID is required to donate. Blood donors are encouraged to eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before donating.

Each blood donor will be entered into a drawing to win a trip to Hawaii. See details at versiti.org/savecation.

According to Versiti Blood Center of Illinois, every blood donation impacts and saves up to three lives.
