Knights of Columbus to hold blood drives
In 2007, The Knights of Columbus Father Gibault Council, No. 712 in Vincennes began a partnership with the local American Red Cross to host Catholic Community Blood Drives at their lodge, located at 401 Felt King Road, near Highland Woods. Since beginning these drives, the response has been tremendous with over 1600 participants. A total of 1744 units of blood have been collected, reaching the potential number of 5232 saved lives. 71 of those donating were first-time donors.
Anyone can be a donor and is welcome. The K of C provides easy access and refreshments to all who participate in the drive.
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic organization that believes in helping others through charitable works. The blood drive is only one of their many projects. They are a firm believer that when you donate blood or commit to host a blood drive, you truly help change lives.
If you would like to be part of helping save lives by donating blood, please call the lodge at 812-882-2948 for the date of the next drive.
