Ela Township

As families gather for the holidays, LifeSource Blood Services and Ela Township are sending a reminder that a happy holiday for some will depend exclusively on the giving spirit of volunteer blood donors.

During the holidays, donations decline and all blood types are needed.

The LifeSource Donor Coach will be parked outside the Ela Township offices at 1155 E. Route 22, in Lake Zurich, for a lifesaving blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 29.

All presenting donors will receive a $10 Visa gift card.

Walk-ins are welcome, though appointments are recommended.

To schedule an appointment, visit www.lifesource.org and click on "Make an Appointment." You can also search by group code 396D.

Remember to bring your ID. Prepare for your donation by eating a good meal beforehand, stay hydrated and wear warm, non-restrictive clothing. For more information about blood donor preparation, visit http://www.lifesource.org/donate-blood/donor-preparation/.
