Red Cross Blood & Platelet Drive - Sunday March 18

RED CROSS BLOOD (9:00 - 3:00 p.m.)and PLATELET DRIVE (8:00 - 2:00 p.m.) – Sunday, March 18 During our Lenten season, please consider these two ways to (literally) give of yourself to help those in need: Whole blood donation – Takes about 20 minutes, and benefits a broad range of patients. Goal: 40 donors. Platelet donation – Takes about 2 hours, and benefits cancer and other severely ill patients. Goal: 12 donors. You must reserve a time slot to make a platelet donation, and are encouraged to reserve a time slot to make a whole blood donation. If you’ve never donated before—but know it’s an invaluable way to help others in need, why not try it this time? For more information, see the sign up sheets in the reception room, or contact Natalie Buzby (whole blood donations)(732-469-7746) or Steve Yacik (platelet donations)(732-271-4665)or call the church office (732-356-3575).
