BLOOD DRIVE - St. John's United Church of Christ, Mokena

St. John's United Church of Christ in Mokena will be holding another Blood Drive on Sunday, September 15th from 9AM - 12 Noon in the Christian Community Center, 11100 Second St.  You could very possibly be giving the "gift of life."  Every 3 seconds, someone needs blood.  Nearly 500 blood donors are needed daily to make surgery and treatment possible for patients right in our own neighborhood.  Blood makes up about 8% of a person's body weight and anyone in good health, at least 17 years old and not under 110 pounds may donate safely every 56 days.  Call 708-479-5123 to register or for more information.
