The program will resume on Wednesday, August 2 . Please watch the bulletin and Forecast for details about menus and speakers for August. This increase, the first in many years, comes as a result of the rising costs of groceries in recent years. Much hard work and effort on the part of many go into making it such an outstanding service, a good Christian service, but it is sincerely appreciated. We thank each person involved and all the volunteers for this outreach program.
Summer normally is a critical time for blood supplies in the Carolinas Region.
Due to increased highway traffic and increased number of accidents, there is a greater demand for blood. However, vacations also mean fewer donations. So any eligible donors who have not given in the past two months are urged to make a donation during this drive. In appreciation to summer donors, the Red Cross is giving a free T-shirt to all those who donate a pint of blood. While walk-in donors are welcome, we encourage folks to register in advance.
