Spring into Service
Spring Into Service is a small series of planned service projects that provide students the opportunity to get out and give back. Engaging in these activities benefits both students and the Bloomington-Normal community.
Spring Blood Drives
As part of our 2022 Spring Into Service we are partnering with ImpactLife for a spring blood drive. ImpactLife provides lifesaving blood products to more than 125 hospitals in a four-state region.
The Donor Bus will be parked on Schroeder Plaza Monday, March 28, and Friday, April 1, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Appointments and masks are required.
