One of the ministries of the Health Cabinet is the Blood Drive that we sponsor several times throughout the year. Georgia Irvin has been our coordinator for the past several years (Nancy Beccue was before that).  Here is the text of the thank-you letter we received from our recent blood drive.

“Dear Georgia, I have your final results from your Blood Drive; we registered 24 people and collected 18 units, this will touch the lives of at least 54 people from your drive in just one day! It is great drives like yours that keep San Diego Blood recipients alive and able to enjoy their lives. In fact the majority of the blood collected at your drive, is already at the hospitals and being given to patients.”

At our previous blood drive in November, one of our donors reported that they told her they were rushing her blood by special courier to the hospital for a newborn that was in need of that type.  What a blessing this ministry has been!

Keep in mind that CLC is part of the San Diego Blood Banks’ “family plan” and if any member should need blood (and does not have insurance that would cover the cost) they will supply it for only the processing fee.  Your blood donation not only helps people now but also gives coverage to our members who may need it in the future!  

Thanks for your support!  We have three more blood drives this year, April 7^th, August 11th and November 10^th , please consider donating.
