Continuing its annual summer tradition, the Church of God hosted the East Coast Mega Blood Drive 2016. Thirteen branches of the Church of God in the East Coast and the Caribbean hosted a blood drive in their local area on the same day. And in the midst of blood shortages in the nation, Charlotte joined in on the efforts.
Statistics show that more blood is needed during summer months given the low turnout in donors. Recognizing this need, the Church of God in Charlotte teamed up with the Community Blood Center. Volunteers prepared for weeks for the blood drive to give hope and love to those in dire need of blood. Not only did members voluntarily donate but they also invited neighbors and friends to help save lives.
“It’s a great feeling to save someone’s life. Many of our churches around the East Coast are doing the same thing at the same time. That makes it even more exciting,” said one volunteer donor.
Another volunteer added, “Most people either knew someone who needed blood or was in need of blood themselves.”
As a result, volunteers donated enough blood to help save more than 90 lives. All the Church of God volunteers were happy to give blood knowing they could help save so many lives.
The World Mission Society Church of God is well known for its volunteerism throughout the world. And it is continually making a significant impact on society. The members of the Church of God in Charlotte were thankful to participate in the East Coast Mega Blood Drive 2016. They stated that they will continue working closely with the Community Blood Center for possible future events to help aid the community.
Mega blood drive!! Its great to see such people coming together to help the world. I want to be a part of this
Wow! Someone in the US needs blood every 2 seconds. It’s amazing to see that there are people in the community hosting blood drives that can bring our community together! Great Job! Keep making a change!
It’s really amazing to see members of this church united with one heart and mind, serving their community according to the teachings of Christ. Keep up the great job! We love you!
Due to blood shortages all around the United States this type of volunteer work is necessary. I have attended some of the blood drives at the World Mission Society Church of God and the members are always so gracious and happy to partake in the blood drives. I’m happy to have this opportunity to be a part of such an awesome blessing. 🙂
Normally, to give blood is good in order to save a life. However, when a group, especially a church, comes together to give a large donation, that is incredible. That is not only to save a life, but an entire community. Thank God for returning true love back to this world.
I was invited for a bible study. I was a little hesitant to join for a bible study. After I went for a bible study I was so so so excited. Everything that I learned was through the bible. No one gave me their own opinion about anything but told me to read it for myself in the bible. My family and I are now part of the beautiful family of the Church of God. This is one of the best and important decisions that I have made in my entire life.
What a beautiful event, with kind& loving church members! The Church of God really spreads the love of a Mother!
I really give thanks to God for giving me the opportunity to give blood this year. I feel that by giving blood ourselves, we can understand more the love and sacrifice of God who gave His blood for our lives. This event was amazing!!!!
