MONTICELLO – The Monticello High School Red Cross Club will host a blood drive on Tuesday, March 3, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in room 226 of the high school.

Community members are encouraged to roll up their sleeves this Saturday as students and staff at the local high school partner with the American Red Cross for a community blood drive aimed at strengthening the region’s emergency blood supply.  Organizers say the event is not only an opportunity for neighbors to come together for a shared cause, but also a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of accident victims, surgery patients, and individuals undergoing cancer treatment.

A single donation can help save multiple lives, and with hospitals facing ongoing shortages, every pint collected plays a critical role.  By participating, donors help ensure that lifesaving blood is available when it’s needed most, offering hope and healing to families throughout the area.

Walk-ins are welcome, or you can sign up online for an appointment at
