LLCC Student Life and Agriculture Club have canceled the upcoming blood drive that was scheduled for March 25. If you planned to donate, we hope you can find some alternative date/time to donate! Donations have dropped drastically due to the recent climate. Please continue reading for more information from the Central Illinois Community Blood Center.

Nationally, and here in our region, the blood supply is being adversely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. In some places, elective surgery is already being canceled for blood availability. Most activities have been canceled, and more people are staying home. The pandemic is having a significant impact on participation in blood drives.

We would emphasize COVID-19 presents no known risk to the safety of the nation’s blood supply, only the adequacy of the supply at this time. Individuals are not at risk of contracting COVID-19 from donating blood.

If you are healthy, please consider donating! Read more, and view guidelines.
