There is a critical shortage of blood in the Pittsburgh area, so if you are able to give, please consider doing so.

Save the date (and your blood donation) for this drive being held at the church.

Blood donations are always needed—with the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions/precautions, community blood drives remain on hiatus. If you are able to donate, please consider visiting vitalant.org to schedule an appointment at one of their sites.

Circumstances have prevented the church from hosting a blood drive, but the need for blood remains high. Please consider making an appointment through Vitalant.org. Donor blood is now tested for COVID-19 antibodies, with the results sent to donors. If you are found to have the antibodies, please consider donating plasma, which may help critically ill COVID-19 patients recover. Learn more about this process at Vitalant’s website.

If you donated blood at SUMC’s November blood drive, you could have donated again on January 5th, as that was 56 days from the blood drive.

25 people registered to donate at the November blood drive; 18 units were collected. Thank you to all who attended.  

November 10th from 8 am to 1 pm in the church’s Simpson Room. The drive is open to the public, so share the date with others.
