   The first of Longville’s four Blood Drives for 2024 is Friday, March 22nd. It is sponsored by the Longville Lions and is held at St. Edward’s Catholic Church. We have a great reputation for being a superbly generous community with lots of donors, especially considering our size! This time of the year is always extra challenging because many of our regulars are out of town. They have given us an ambitious goal and we would love to meet more new donors. The need is great! 70 hospitals in the surrounding area depend on your generous donations. If it has been awhile since you have given, please consider coming back into the fold of donors. Or become a new donor! We appreciate every single one of you. Please call or text Pat Boen at 218-838-4202.
