If you can't make it on the 16th, please go to any LifeSource Blood Center (Oak Lawn, Orland Park, Lansing, Westmont, etc.) and give the following code (545E) so Homewood Fire Department will still get credit for your donation.

Prepare for your donation by eating well and staying hydrated. You must bring your photo ID with you to donate. A Lifesource of military ID, driver's license or employee badge with picture and full name are all approved forms of ID.
