The Village of Bartlett and Bartlett Police Department will be hosting their annual blood drive from 3:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 29, in Heartland Blood Centers' mobile coach vehicle that will be parked in the village hall parking lot located at 228 S. Main Street.

Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment at heartlandbc.org and then clicking on the “Now Available!” button or by contacting Heartland Blood Centers representative Janet Maher at (630) 723-2565.
