The fourth Parish Blood Drive for 2020, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, is scheduled for Sunday, October 18th, from 8:00 am until 1:45 pm at the Activity Center on Woodland Hills Drive. With so many cancellations due to COVID, there is a great need for donors at this time.
The Knights of Columbus will be in the Narthex before and after each mass on Oct 3/4 and Oct 10/11 to assist you with an appointment so that you may donate.
Walk-ins are always welcome on the day of the Blood Drive, however, appointments will be spaced out to assist with social distancing and patient blood usage. The Blood Center is requiring all donors to wear a mask. If you don’t have one, our staff can supply you with one.
You may schedule an appointment by emailing jnd.gurka@gmail.com or call Darien Gurka at (713) 628-0373. Online appointments may be scheduled by visiting www.giveblood.org. (Please enter the sponsor code 1220 for St. Martha Catholic Church)
The Blood Center will provide a Double Red Cell Aphaeresis, which will allow some donors to give two units of red blood cells from a single donation.
As always, the Knights of Columbus would like to thank St. Martha parishioners for generously giving the gift of life.
