CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – August is National Wellness Month, and the American Red Cross of Illinois is reminding residents to help maintain a healthy blood supply by donating blood this month.

A Red Cross press release shared that August brings changes in routines and end-of-summer plans. For many in the Champaign-Urbana area, it’s the month that you or your kids go back to school, the time that you come back from a relaxing vacation, and when the weather starts getting cooler.
