Sweet Home churches sponsor a blood drive every two
months. This blood goes to the Oregon-Washington area, where
5,000 pints of blood are used every week.
Why take an hour of your busy life to donate a pint of blood?
(1) It’s convenient and easy. You just answer a few questions, get checked for iron, donate blood and have refreshments. (2) You get to see and talk to your neighbors and acquaintances whom you may not see anywhere else. (3) It feels good to donate blood and know that each donation can safe a life – or maybe more than one life. (4) You might win an expense-paid trip to Las Vegas or a VIP trip to Graceland in Memphis, Tenn.
The next drive will be held Tuesday, Feb. 1, from 2 to 7 p.m. at Fir Lawn Lutheran Church. Call (541) 367-5231 for an appointment
time. People with appointments are given priority.
Hope to see you there.
