The next Arkansas Blood Institute (ABI) Blood Drive supported by the Knights of Columbus and hosted by the Village United Methodist Church, 200 Carmona Road, is 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12, 2020. There will be a Blood Mobile available for those donating blood and extra precautions will be taken to ensure everyone's safety. ABI is requesting that appointments be made for this drive; there is an urgent need for blood at this time. Patience is also requested during this trying time. Previous donors with e-mail addresses have been sent an e-mail reminder. New donors can contact Connie at 501-922-4891. Thank you, in advance, for sharing your "gift of life."
