The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Wilmont on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 from 2:00-7:00 p.m. There will be no blood draw in Lismore this winter as Wilmont and Lismore alternate their blood drives.  The blood supply is vulnerable particularly during the winter months due to inclement weather and seasonal illnesses.  When you donate blood, you help save lives.
