The Southwest Chapter of the American Red Cross – Indiana Region and WEVV 44News invite you to give with meaning at the annual “Give Thanks, Give Life” blood drive in Evansville.
With the holiday season quickly approaching and the weather getting colder, the American Red Cross tends to see a decrease in blood donations around this time of year. The need for blood, however, does not decrease. Every donation can make an immense impact on the life of someone who needs it. As we enter a time of celebration and being grateful for what we have, roll up your sleeve to help patients in need.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
