- COMMUNITY HELP NEEDED!



(Limerick, PA – June 11, 2014) --- Ryan Breish, Life Scout of Troop 230 in
Limerick PA, will be hosting a community blood drive for his Eagle Scout
service project at the St. James Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, 93 Kugler Road and Swamp Pike, Limerick, PA on Saturday,
June 14, 2014 from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.  The blood drive will benefit
Miller-Keystone Blood Centers. 

Pre-registration is recommended but
walk-ins are welcome.  There will be child care available at the blood
drive.

The need for blood is constant, and the Miller-Keystone Blood Center needs to
collect 500 pints of blood in daily to meet the needs of local hospitals.
People can safely donate a pint of blood every 56 days. Donors can give double
red cells at this blood drive and receive a free t shirt. 

Donors
must weigh 110+ pounds and be at
least 17 years old, there is no upper age limit, and photo ID is
required.  Tattoos and piercings must be at least one year old. 

Donors are encouraged to eat a good meal
and drink plenty of water prior to giving blood. People taking synthetic
insulin, blood pressure, thyroid, and cholesterol medications, aspirin,
antidepressants, or are on hormone replacement therapy can give blood.
