Each year fewer than five percent of healthy, eligible Americans step forward to make a difference in their community and country by donating blood. Critical shortages exist in this vital necessity.
On average, 32,000 pints of blood are used nationwide each day, which translates to a need of one pint of blood every three seconds. Every pint donated has the potential to help three people in need of blood.
Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good general health. All donors are screened to determine eligibility.
Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are encouraged by calling the KCH volunteer desk at (815) 756-1521, Ext. 153374.
