Blood Drive Set For Saturday
Every minute of every day, someone needs blood – and blood can only come from a volunteer donor.
A special Red Cross Blood Drive will be sponsored Saturday, May 12 at Wesley Hall of the First United Methodist Church in Dexter. The Blood Drive will be held from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
“The Red Cross tells me their blood supply is low already and it isn't even summer yet,” said Loretta Reid, outreach coordinator of the church. “When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group. Currently only three out of every 100 people in America donate blood.”
From its beginning, the American Red Cross has formed a community of service, of generous, strong and decent people bound by beliefs beyond themselves. The American Red Cross blood donor embodies this principle.
For additional information about the Blood Drive, contact Kristi Williams at the First United Methodist Church at 573-624-3344.
The First United Methodist Church is located at 501 South Walnut Street in Dexter.
