April 14: Donate Blood/Give Food at College Church Commons

Due to the overwhelming response and success of our blood drive on March 24, we are partnering with Versiti again and reaching out to those who did not have an opportunity to donate at our March event. As you may know, the need for blood is constant during this pandemic, so we are still encouraging donors to make a new donation appointment to ensure the continued adequacy of the blood supply. Our second blood drive will take place on April 14 in the Commons. You can make an appointment online at donate.illinois.versiti.org. Walk-ins are also welcome, but spaces are limited. Staff will be sure to observe appropriate social distancing.

By setting an appointment in advance, this will help us control the number of people at the site at any given time. If several donors arrive at the same time, measures are in place to handle them on a one-onone basis to limit social contact. Versiti is monitoring and abiding by putting safety guidelines in place, and working closely with all blood drive hosts to ensure donor safety.

It is critically important that healthy individuals continue to donate to minimize disruptions to ensure blood is available for patients. All donors will need a photo ID.

Thanks to all who support the blood drive!

As the stay-at-home order has been extended, Englewood Family Outreach is looking for partners to help with food donations for people in need during the pandemic. They invite the people of College Church to bring non-perishable food items outside the College Church Commons entrance on April 14 during the day, and the food will be boxed up for families in need.

They will be visiting families in the Englewood community with care packages to meet physical needs and offer hope in this time of uncertainty.

Englewood Family Outreach has requests for food, home goods and other necessities, and also want to include Bibles, notes of encouragement and activities for children stuck at home.

Besides the donated food, we will be providing a Bible-focused children's coloring book that will go in each box.

"Thank you for helping us love those in our community," says Daniel Bair, director of the ministry and College Church member and evangelist.
