ALTON/GODFREY – ImpactLife is partnering with local blood donors and blood drive hosts in Alton and Godfrey during the week of Thanksgiving. It will be a busy week for everyone, and likely a challenging week for the blood supply. We appreciate the support of local volunteers who step forward as donors and the blood drive coordinators who help us build the blood supply in the days leading up to to the holiday!
