Baldwin EMC to Hold Sixth Annual Power of Giving Drive
Starting at 8 a.m., representatives from LifeSouth Community Blood Centers will be on hand to accept blood donations. This year’s blood drive theme will be Iron Bowl. Come show your team spirit and give blood for your team. All blood donors will be entered into a drawing for a flat screen TV, $50 gas card and an electric grill!
Anyone interested in donating blood should be in generally good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be at least 17 years old. Donors must not have given blood anywhere else within 8 weeks prior, and as always, first time donors are welcome. If you have a chronic condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes, you may still be able to donate as long as you are being treated and the condition is under control. Please remember to have with you a valid form of photo identification.
Once again, this year’s Power of Giving drive will also include a health fair. Visitors are welcome to come take advantage of a variety of pre-diagnostic health and wellness screenings performed by medical professionals. All services are provided free of charge.
Baldwin EMC will also be collecting non-perishable food items to be donated to Catholic Social Services of Baldwin County. Food donations will be distributed to families in need throughout the community.
EMC will also be collecting dry and canned pet food for dogs and cats, and cat litter, on behalf of the Baldwin County Humane Society.
The drive is scheduled to wrap up at 4:30 p.m. For more information call (251) 989-6247.
