DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - A grand opening was held Tuesday for a new blood center in Decatur. 

In the past, ImpactLife's blood center gave blood to Decatur-area hospitals under the name of the Central Illinois Community Blood Center. It is now operating under a new name in a new downtown Decatur space.

The building is located at 151 W. Main St. It operates from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays. 

ImpactLife held mobile blood drives in Macon County in July to help with a low collection of blood donations over the 4th of July weekend.
