Due to the winter storm, blood donors are needed. Sharee Hoegerl, a Donor Recruiter with the Bloodcenter tells KCII News, due to a number of blood drives that were forced to cancel because of weather issues this drive is very important to help keep the blood banks stocked for emergencies. The third annual Louisa County 4-H Council blood drive will be held today in Columbus Junction at the Louisa County Fairgrounds from 3 to 6 p.m. The event is held in conjunction with the Mississippi Valley Regional Bloodcenter.

Those looking to donate are encouraged to call ahead to set an appointment. To schedule a donation call 563-359-5401.
