Iroquois Museum Hosting Blood Drive

HOWES CAVE — The Iroquois Museum will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on July 6, 2024 from 8:00am to 2:00 pm at the Iroquois Museum, 324 Caverns Road, Howes Cave. 

For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call 1-800-733-2767 (1-800-RED-CROSS) or sign up online at redcrossblood.org with sponsor code iroquoismuseum or https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time. 

“The Iroquois Museum is committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations,” said Christina Hanks, President of the Board at the Iroquois Museum.  “This blood drive is our way of giving staff, colleagues and neighbors an opportunity to help save lives.” 

Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross.

According to the Red Cross, donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative.
