Christ Church is sponsoring a Red Cross blood drive right here in our Parish Hall on Saturday, September 24th from 10am-3pm. Your 1 hour of time could help 3 hospital patients. The need is constant and the gratification is instant. This blood drive is in memory of Raymond Lecky, who died at far too young an age, and might have been saved if units of blood were available.
Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are always welcome. To schedule an appointment please go to www.redcrossblood.org and use sponsor code Christ Episcopal Church. You can also schedule an appointment by contacting the Outreach Committee at 973-707-3005 or outreach@christchurchepiscopal.org. For questions about eligibility call 1-800-REDCROSS.
Donors need to be a minimum of 110 lbs. and donors who are 16 need parental consent. Most medications are fine but please call to check. There are some restrictions if you have traveled to countries with Malaria risk, so call if you have traveled in the past 12 months.
