The Hanover Township Office of Community Health will host a Blood Drive in coordination with the American Red Cross from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 17, at the Township Senior Center, 240 S. IL Route 59, Bartlett.

"The demand for blood donations is incredibly high right now," said Kristen Smith, director of Community Health at Hanover Township. "We encourage those who are eligible to schedule an appointment to donate blood and participate in this generous opportunity that saves lives."

Participants will receive a free T-shirt and a $5 Amazon gift card. The day of the blood drive, donors are required to bring a photo ID, blood donor card, or two other forms of ID.

Since April of last year, the Township has hosted six blood drives, resulting in over 200 units collected.
