The Village of Channahon and the American Red Cross are hosting an upcoming blood drive on Tuesday, 3/25/25 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Board Room at Village Hall (24555 S. Navajo Drive). 

The start of the new year is one of the most challenging times to collect blood products as the threat of severe winter weather builds up and can often lead to widespread blood drive cancellations. Cold and flu season may also prevent people from keeping donation appointments as they rest and recover from illness. If you're feeling well, please make and keep donation appointments to help ensure the blood supply stays on track throughout the winter. Donors of all blood types -- particularly type O negative blood -- are needed daily to meet demand. Those who come to give blood will be rewarded with a valuable health insight and more. American Red Cross wants our donors to know how much they care about them by expanding our health offerings to include free A1C testing (commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes) for all who successfully give blood, platelets or plasma in March. Donors can help save lives and empower their health! In addition, those who come to give March 1-31 will also receive a $10 Amazon Gift Card (via email).
