Calling all Mt. Morris blood donors! Let’s save some lives!

Looking for a way to help out this New Year? How about donate blood? We are once again teaming up with the Rock River Valley Blood Center and holding a community blood drive! That’s right, Tuesday, January 13, 2025 from 1pm-6pm! If you’d like to schedule an appointment call (815)965-8751, but as always, walk-ins are always welcome! Turns out the gift giving season isn’t over yet, give the gift of LIFE!! Your single donation can save the lives of up to three people. So plan on stopping by the firehouse on January 13 and donating an hour of your time and a pint of your blood. Sit back, relax and enjoy the great feeling of giving…. oh yeah, don’t forget the COOKIES!!

John here made his New Year’s Resolution to give blood more frequently, and it should be yours too! Plus, if you donate at the RRVBC the next two weeks, you could have the chance to win a 65-inch TV from Primetime Audio/Video!

Happy New Year from the Rock River Valley Blood Center! ❣️❄️ We are so grateful for the blood donors that kept our local hospitals supplied all throughout 2025. Here’s to another year of saving lives! 🍾

We are closed for the holiday, but will be open again tomorrow, as the need for blood never takes time off. 💙
