Stoughton Trailers hosts blood drive amid severe blood shortage

Blood centers across the nation are experiencing a high rate of cancelled blood drives due to COVID-19 concerns. This has left our communities in a severe shortage of blood supply. Stoughton Trailers knew exactly what needed to be done to show our community the support it deserves during this difficult time.

The Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center, a provider of blood and blood components to over 100 hospitals in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin, collected blood donations from over 20 healthy Stoughton Trailers employees today. That translates to 60+ lives saved! We encourage anyone who is healthy and can give blood, donate at a local drive or blood center. We’re all in this together.

We look forward to hosting more blood drives at our other manufacturing locations in the future.

Evansville, Ind. (March 19, 2020) – Starting Friday, March 20, Old National will shift to appointment-only banking at all branch locations. This will enable members of the Old National staff to clean and disinfect surfaces after each visit. The drive-thru will remain open at all locations. Drive-thru hours of operation will not change.

“As the coronavirus situation has evolved, we’ve learned that taking serious precautions now may be the best way to help our clients, colleagues and communities stay safe,” said Old National Chairman & CEO Jim Ryan. “That’s why we’re making these important but temporary changes at our banking centers.”

Appointments will be available between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. local time, with the first hour of each day reserved for those 60 or older and others who are deemed high-risk. Please call your nearby banking center to schedule an appointment. Locations and phone numbers can be found at oldnational.com/locations.

As a reminder, most banking transactions can be completed through our drive-thru windows, including check deposits, standard withdrawals, bill payments and transfers.

Clients also can complete many banking transactions at oldnational.com. The ONB mobile app enables clients to complete some transactions as well, including check deposits.

“For 186 years, Old National has been focused and deeply committed to serving and supporting its clients and communities,” said Jim Sandgren, President & COO. “As we face these unprecedented times, that commitment remains core – we stand beside our clients, team members and communities ready to serve.
