January is more than just the start of the New Year, it’s National Blood Donor Month and the perfect time to roll up our sleeves to help save lives. Without the generosity of those who give so selflessly, millions of patients each year would not have the blood they require for emergency needs or ongoing treatment.

Your cape awaits! Make a blood donation at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish Blood Drive on January 15 with ImpactLife. Appointments are available from 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. To schedule an appointment for the Assumption Blood Drive, contact Mary Anne Robinson at marobin70@gmail.com or call 636-541-2823. Those who give will get their choice of a gift card or a donation to Feeding America.
