All Souls is hosting a blood drive in support of the Baker family on October 5th from 11:30am-3pm in the upper Pine Street parking lot. Donated blood is essential for cancer patients, organ transplants, emergencies and medical research. Please consider loving your neighbor by signing up for a donation appointment. Please share this donation link with friends and family local to the area that might be interested!
You are likely eligible to give blood if you are in good general health, are at least 16 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds. The Vitalant website has additional information about Basic Eligibility Requirements. Please reach out to Erica Coffelt (erica.coffelt@gmail.com) with questions about the event. Stephanie Pease (stephanie.pease@gmail.com) is available to discuss any questions about the donation experience, feel free to reach out if you are feeling hesitant! Of note: recent guidelines have changed that have increased eligibility for blood donation for many LGBTQ+ individuals.
