ELLISVILLE – Jones College’s community-wide spring blood drive will be held on Monday, February 26, at the Industrial Services Center Building parking lot and the Allied Health Center’s parking lot from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. The Blood Mobile Units will also be available for donations on Tuesday, February 27, from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. in the Allied Health Center parking lot and on Dan Jones Memorial Drive, between the C.L. Neill Student Center and the A.B. Howard Gymnasium and Student Union. The Mobile Blood Units will be used for blood product donations because campus renovations have limited the available space to hold the blood drive. Therefore, appointments are highly encouraged because of the limited space in each mobile unit but walk-ins are welcome. Visit the website, https://donors.vitalant.org/ to schedule an appointment or learn more about the blood drive on the JC Ellisville campus.
The overall goal for the two-day blood drive is 86 units of blood stated Benji Sessums, Jones College Blood Drive Coordinator, and EMT instructor. To encourage donations, T-shirts will be given to all donors and Door Prizes will be available both days for donors during random drawings.
