Dubois County Health Department to Host Blood Drive with American Red Cross

The Dubois County Health Department, in partnership with the American Red Cross, will host a community blood drive on Wednesday, April 8, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST. The event will take place in the health department’s Education Room, located at 1187 S. Saint Charles Street in Jasper. 

The need for blood donations is constant, and every donation can help save up to three lives. Community members are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life during this important event. 

Appointments are recommended to help reduce wait times, but walk-ins will be accepted as availability allows.
