Blood Drive – Shepherd of the Pines Church

Additional Information

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IS ASKING EVERYONE TO ROLL UP THEIR SLEEVES AND GIVE FROM THE HEART, THE AMERICAN WAY, WHEN THE RED CROSS IS AT SHEPHERD OF THE PINES CHURCH IN RICE ON MONDAY, MAY 8, FROM 1:30 TO 6:45.
EVERY WEEK, PATIENTS DEPEND UPON THE GENEROSITY OF VOLUNTEERS, WHOSE ONLY MOTIVATION IS TO HELP OTHERS, BY GIVING BLOOD. THIS LIFE-SAVING SUPPLY OF DONATED BLOOD IS THEN USED TO HELP PEOPLE SURVIVE AN ACCIDENT, SURGERY, CANCER, LEUKEMIA, OR OTHER SERIOUS DISEASES.
“PEOPLE WHO DONATE BLOOD ARE VERY SPECIAL,” SAID LORA KNAFLA, RICE AREA BLOODMOBILE COORDINATOR. “EVEN IF THEY’RE REALLY BUSY THEY MAKE THE TIME BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH IT’S NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.
IF YOU ARE 17 YEARS OF AGE, WEIGH AT LEAST 110 POUNDS, AND ARE IN GOOD HEALTH YOU CAN DONATE BLOOD.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON DONATING TO THE RED CROSS ON MONDAY, MAY 8, CALL LORA AT 393-2701.
HELP SAVE THREE OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES WITH YOUR ONE DONATION.
