St. Philips Catholic Church issued the following announcement.

Our partnership with the American Red Cross

Our 1st blood drive is important to me, both personally and from an organizational standpoint.

Let me explain why. Most importantly, very few people actually get to take an active role in helping to save a life. By taking an hour out of my day, I get to make a real difference. I feel grateful I am healthy enough to help in this way.

St. Philip's also benefits from our blood drives. By participating in our blood drive program, we combine our strengths for a few hours each year, around a worthwhile and lifesaving cause. We do a lot of good. We have a lot of impact.

I believe if you give blood donation (or volunteering) at the drive a try, you will see these benefits as well. Odds have it that someone you know will need blood during your lifetime. In fact every two

seconds someone in America- needs blood, from trauma victims to cancer patients, mothers giving birth to premature babies and so many more.

Please come out to support our drive on July 2, 2020, Eleanor Morin, Josh Nyberg and Maryhelen Chadwick will all be there supporting the drive. We look forward to your participation and seeing you there.
