  The next parish blood drive is scheduled from

7 a.m.-2 p.m. July 11, 2010

There are accident victims and hospital patients that need blood every day of every year. Nervous about giving blood? It's no big deal. Does giving hurt? All you feel is a slight pinch for a few seconds. It's easy too. But, don't take our word for it ...  Click here for video and audio of previous drives at St. Joseph Parish.

The mobile unit will be parked in the back lot of the parish hall from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. July 11, 2010. Please consider giving this most precious gift.

When you arrive, come to the Ministry Center and check in. Walk-ins are always welcome. For more information or to make an appointment, please call 815-939-3573. Learn the facts about donation, visit http://www.heartlandbc.org.
