Give the Gift that Keeps Giving

The Baptist Church in the Great Valley will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Saturday, December 28th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Christian Education Building of the Baptist Church in the Great Valley, 945 N. Valley Forge Road, Devon, PA.

To make an appointment to donate, call 1-800-733-2767 or sign up online at redcrossblood.org with sponsor code baptistchurchgv

The Baptist Church in the Great Valley is committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations,” said Roberta Winters of the Outreach Committee. “This blood drive is our way of giving staff, colleagues and neighbors an opportunity to help save lives.”

Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross.

“We urge community members to donate blood and help ensure that patients in local hospitals have a supply of blood ready and waiting before an emergency occurs. There’s no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!”

According to the Red Cross, donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative.
