Services staff extends their heartfelt appreciation for your efforts on behalf of the many patients whose lives depend on the availability of blood products in our community.
Coordinating an American Red Cross blood drive - and knowing you're responsible for saving so many lives - makes you an invaluable contributor in our community.

Blood drive goal: 31
39 people were registered
3 people were willing to donate but could not for minor medical reasons
4 first time donors
36 Persons successfully donated one unit of whole blood
108 Units of lifesaving blood were collected, giving as many as 108 hospital patients a chance to once again enjoy good health.

The need is constant, the gratification is instant, give blood.
On August 20, First Presbyterian Church volunteers lent a hand plating and serving lunch to 250-300 Detroit residents at the Ecumenical Theological Seminary's Everyone Eats Program.
In this unique program, the "clients" are served restaurant style by the volunteers. It is a very friendly atmosphere where servers can talk and share with the clients, many of them homeless and without jobs.
