Baldwin EMC to Hold "Spring Into Action" Drive
April 15, 2011
Baldwin EMC will hold its "Spring Into Action" drive on Thursday, April 21 at the cooperative's training center on Highway 59 in Summerdale from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Members of the community are invited to come help replenish a local blood bank's supply and keep less fortunate children in clean diapers.
Baldwin EMC has teamed up with South Baldwin Regional Medical Center for the "Every Little Bottom" drive and will be accepting diaper contributions. All diaper sizes are needed and donations will be distributed to needy families through local United Way agencies.
Representatives from LifeSouth Community Blood Centers will be on hand to accept blood donations. Anyone interested in donating blood should be in generally good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be at least 17 years old. Donors must not have given blood anywhere else within 8 weeks prior, and as always, first time donors are welcome. If you have a chronic condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes, you may still be able to donate as long as you are being treated and the condition is under control. Please remember to have with you a valid form of photo identification.
