Community Blood Drives

To help supply local community blood centers, the Oak Park Public Health Department is sponsoring a blood drive from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25 at Village Hall, 123 Madison St.

About every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood or platelets, and one blood donation often saves more than one life.

Though walk-ins are welcome at the Health Department blood drive, appointments are recommended.

Importance of donating blood

The U.S. is experiencing a national blood shortage and facing the lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years.

The Oak Park Public Health Department encourages as many Oak Parkers as possible to give blood.

Blood donations are needed now to alleviate the shortage and ensure lifesaving medical procedures are not delayed.

One donation can save up to three lives.
