As promised at this morning's chapel, I'm sharing information about donating blood to assist in the relief efforts and information about local church services and opportunities for prayer and reflection.
Our local Community Blood Center has indicated that they will be immediately sending blood supplies we have -- our efforts would be helpful in rebuilding their supply.
An on-campus Bloodmobile is scheduled for Tuesday, September 25th. You can also go to our local Community Blood Center at 2200 N. Limestone (in the office area at the corner of Limestone and Home Road; the same area as Perkins restaurant). You can get a map and more information on their website:
http://www.cbccts.org/donating/cntr_springfield.htm
Their hours are:
Monday - Wednesday 3:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.;
Thursday Noon to 7:45 p.m.;
Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
If you are eligible to give (the website also has a guide to assist you), please do so!
