All of us in the Tri-State want to do anything we can to help and the best way to help is by making donations to the American Red Cross by calling 812-471-7200 or online at redcross.org/tristate.

The need for blood increases while the number of donors decreases as people focus on their holiday plans. In an effort to make to sure their supply is ready for whatever the holiday season throws at them, the Southwestern Indiana Chapter of the Red Cross will be staging several blood drives across the tri-state from December 1st - 15th.
