The Knights of Columbus Assembly 2420, at St. John’s Catholic Church on Hughes Rd. in Madison, is sponsoring its regular, bi-monthly, American Red Cross blood drive on Saturday, Dec. 19, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

It will be held in the St. John’s Church basement. For an appointment, please go to www.redcrossblood.org, enter zip code 35758, select our drive, and choose your time.

The need for blood in Alabama and the nation is constant, and especially so now with COVID-19 continuing to threaten us. With regard to the virus, we will be observing the national, state, and diocesan suggested separation, disinfecting, and cleanliness guidelines.

Your participation is greatly appreciated by the Red Cross and St. John’s Knights of Columbus, but, most of all, by those who need blood at this trying time in our nation.

Please take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and give the gift of life.

For further information, please call the church office at 256-722-0130 or John Horch at 256-772-3280.
