MONROE — The Monroe community and the American Red Cross are hosting a blood drive from 12:30 to 6 p.m. on Feb. 20 at the Monroe Bible Church, 2613 8th Ave. 

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every two to three seconds.
