St. Gregory the Great to hold blood drive

Do you want to make a simple donation that could save someone’s life?

Spring into action this month and donate blood. St. Gregory the Great Church in Hamilton Square is holding its annual blood drive on March 30 from 3 to  8:30 p.m. in the St. Gregory the Great school cafeteria.

Walk-ins are welcome and appointments can be made by calling Coleen Mejias at (609) 298-2885.

If you’ve ever wondered who benefits from a blood donation, St. Gregory the Great parishioner Kevin Scibilia has a story to share. Kevin underwent numerous blood and platelet transfusions in his battle against leukemia. If he had not had access to donated blood, Kevin likely would have not survived his treatment. But today, Kevin is healthy and enjoying his life with wife, Susan, and their three children.

“I am so grateful to the many people that choose to donate blood,” Kevin said.  “I will never know who my donors were, but I am here today because of their gift. It is such a simple process that can make a huge impact on so many others.”
