Churches to host upcoming blood drives

WISCONSIN — The American Red Cross and the National Football League are teaming up this January, during National Blood Donor Month, to urge individuals — especially those who have recovered from COVID-19 — to give blood and to help tackle the national convalescent plasma shortage. Right now, more donors are needed to help hospital patients.

During this critical time, the Red Cross and NFL offer all those who come to donate an opportunity to receive a special thank you this month. Those who come to donate blood or platelets this January will be automatically entered to win two tickets to next year’s Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles. In addition, those who come to give Jan. 1-20, will also be automatically entered to win the Big Game at Home package for a viewing experience safely at home, with a 65-inch television and a $500 gift card to put toward food and fun.

Individuals can schedule an appointment by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, calling 800-733-2767 or activating the Blood Scheduling Skill for Amazon Alexa.

Monroe: 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Jan. 25 at United Methodist Church, 2227 4th St.

Juda: 1 to 6 p.m. Jan. 26 at Juda High School, N2385 Spring St.
