The Pontiac Bloodmobile will be at the Pontiac VFW Wednesday from 11:30 to 4:30.

The American Red Cross has urgent need for blood donations, with Hurricane Matthew forcing the cancellation of approximately 55 blood drives, resulting in nearly 1,800 blood donations going uncollected. During that time, additional blood products were sent to areas impacted by that storm.

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are appreciated. Call Dixie Vogel with any questions at 815-358-2444.
