Elgin church to host June 26 blood drive

St. Hugh of Lincoln Episcopal Church is partnering with Versiti Blood Center to host a community blood drive on Thursday, June 26, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the church located on the southeast corner of Highland Avenue and Randall Road in Elgin.

With donations down during the summer months, parishioners and the public are asked to help meet the critical need for blood at area hospitals. Register for a convenient time to donate at www.Versiti.org/IL and load the Versiti Donor app or call the blood center at 800-7TO-GIVE.

Your donation of a single pint of blood will save up to three lives. While appointments are appreciated, walk-ins are welcome. Learn more at www.sthugh.net.
