Red Cross Blood Drive

Our next St. Mark Blood Drive will be held on Sunday, June 22, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.  The need is great for your donation.  At our last blood drive 21 units of blood were donated just one over the minimum to make it worthwhile for the Red Cross to keep coming back.  They make it very convenient for us by showing up at our door step.

A few facts about blood needs:

  • Every two seconds someone in the US needs blood.
  • More than 41,000 blood donations are needed every day.
  • A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.
The second most important commandment is this:  "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."  No other commandments is greater than these.  Mark 12:31
