Baldwin EMC will hold its 2015 Spring Into Action blood drive on Thursday, March 19 at the cooperative’s headquarters, located at 19600 State Highway 59 in Summerdale.

Staff members from LifeSouth Community Blood Centers will be set up from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Baldwin EMC Training Center to take blood donations.  Everyone at least 17 years old, 110 pounds and in generally good health is invited to donate blood. All blood types are needed, and first time donors are welcome.

Every blood donor also has the chance to be a winner. Each person who donates will be entered into two drawings; one for a $100 Visa gift card and another for an electric grill.

The drive will benefit LifeSouth Community Blood Centers and local hospitals. For more information about the Spring Into Action drive, call (251) 989-6247 or visit www.baldwinemc.com.
