Summerdale, AL

There is an urgent need for blood donations in the local area, and Baldwin EMC is partnering with LifeSouth to meet that need.

The co-op is hosting an emergency blood drive at the Baldwin EMC headquarters office in Summerdale on Thursday, February 1, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Giving back to the community is one of Baldwin EMC’s core values, especially when there is a critical need. So, when LifeSouth reached out to us and told us how low their supplies were, we knew we had to help,” said Mark Ingram Baldwin EMC vice president of corporate services and public relations. “We’re hoping that members of the co-op and of the entire community will find time to stop by our training center on Highway 59 and donate. Just one pint can save up to three lives.”

LifeSouth Community Blood Centers will be on site 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. Anyone who donates blood will receive a $25 e-gift card and will be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card. Baldwin EMC is hosting an EMERGENCY BLOOD DRIVE to serve a critical need in our area blood banks.
