Blood Drive on April 24

Giving blood is one of the most generous gifts a human being can give to another. Every day hundreds of people in our region need blood. We often think first of victims from an auto crash or a traumatic industrial accident. We imagine doctors in the emergency room working frantically and calling for blood to save a life. However, many more people also need transfusions including: burn patients, those fighting cancer and leukemia, many premature babies, those going for heart surgery, and organ transplant recipients. All of these people will need blood or products extracted from donated blood in order to survive. It is not an exaggeration to say that regularly donating blood means you will accumulate a list of anonymous people that are alive only because you decided to give the gift of life.

Crossroads Church organizes blood drives in conjunction with BloodSource. The drives happen on a regular schedule at the frequency recommended by doctors as healthy for donors. We provide a safe and welcoming place to give blood, often with extra special refreshments. Medical staff from BloodSource take you through the process of donating. We think you will find it a very worthwhile and gratifying experience. The blood drive will begin at 12:30pm in our our worship center located at 1101 National Dr and will conclude at 4:30pm.
