SUMMARY:Sacred Heart Parish Blood Drive
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Heart Parish\, 1061 Springfield Street\, Feeding Hills hosted the Baystate Health Blood Drive this past April and we were able to save 30 adults or up to 50 more babies lives\, which brings us to over 535 adults or up to 825 babies lives saved since we began July of 2016. One donation saves 3 adults or up to 5 infants\, the gift of life is so very precious. Our next Blood Donation Drive will be Saturday\, July 27 from 10 – 3pm. If we can fill the schedule which is 30 appointments we would save between 90 and 150 lives\, how awesome would that be! I can easily save a block of time if you would like to get a group together and have a Blood Donation Party and make a day of it; share a meal together first then come to donate! If you have never given before\, I would be happy to come and stay with you while you donate. Each donation receives a thank you of a free Big E ticket and remember that the donations made through Baystate Health stays in Western Massachusetts! Please call our Pastoral Minister Deb Briancesco RN at 786.8200 ext 3 soon to make your appointment to save a life or with any questions.
