Michigan Patients Need YOUR Help! I hope this message finds you well and warm during these snowy, cold weeks we've had! I am one of the blood drive coordinators for my local Alger Heights (Grand Rapids) community and would love to see you at our upcoming drive this month! Please join us on Tuesday, January 30th from 1:30pm - 6:00pm at Seymour Christian Reformed Church (840 Alger St. SE, Grand Rapids MI 49507) to donate your precious life source!

Donating blood is one of my favorite things to do because I know I am helping save lives of those in my community. What a rewarding way to give back to others, especially this month as we honor and celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! I truly thank you for your consideration in signing up to donate blood this month. The need continues to increase with a decrease in donors. I know life is busy and we have other priorities, but I implore you to think what just an hour or so out of your day could do for someone else. If it was your family or friend's life on the line, would you make the time?
