Historical November 1987 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
St. Roch Church and Grace United Methodist Church are sponsoring a community blood drive on Saturday, November 21, 1987, at Grace Methodist Fellowship Hall from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
All healthy persons are urged to donate blood to meet an increased demand for blood in hospitals and to continue this combined drive’s tradition of meeting its goal. Blood usage has increased beyond anticipated needs, which means more blood donors are needed.
The Missouri-Illinois Regional Red Cross Blood Services again projects a deficit for blood collections in this area, despite a slight increase in total collections. Providing a safe and adequate supply of blood for hospitalized patients is the philosophy of Red Cross blood services. Blood donors benefit by receiving a mini-physical.
At registration, a nurse takes each donor’s blood pressure, temperature, pulse and hemoglobin (iron) count, and reviews the donor’s recent health history to make sure it is safe for him or her to give. Community support is paramount to help reach a daily collection goal of 1,000 blood donors and to achieve the goal for this drive. Walk-in donors are welcome anytime November 21 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Grace Methodist is at the corner of Skinker and Waterman.
