April is National Volunteer Month, and the American Red Cross says it’s a good time to donate blood. Red Cross officials note that volunteer blood donors are the only source of blood for many patients who need transfusions.

Locally, blood drives will take place Monday, April 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Ancilla College Administration Building in Donaldson; Tuesday, April 11 from 12:30 to 6:00 p.m. at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center in Knox; and Thursday, April 13 at St. Peter Lutheran Church in North Judson.

Additional blood drives will be held Monday, April 24 at North Judson-San Pierre High School; Wednesday, April 26 at the Knights of Columbus in Winamac; Thursday, May 4 at Knox Community High School; and Wednesday, May 10 at Culver Community High School.
