English Lutheran Church will host a community blood drive with Versiti on Tuesday, June 25 from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the English Lutheran Church fellowship hall, 741 North East Avenue, Viroqua. For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call 877-232-4376 or sign up online at versiti.org/wi.

With donor numbers reaching a 20-year low, the blood shortage in the US has now been declared a national emergency. People of all ages can be part of the solution. Anyone 17 or older who is in good health and meets eligibility requirements is encouraged to donate blood.

Versiti is the sole blood supplier for the local area, including Vernon Memorial Hospital. Help your friends, neighbors, and community members who may need the life-saving gift of blood by becoming a donor with Versiti.
