Last Chance to Turn in Baby Bottles–THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 20

  • June 16, 2021

Sarah’s House is committed to ending the cycle of homelessness and abuse in women and children through comprehensive case management, counseling, educational classes, and resources through pregnancy and beyond.

The Sarah’s House Baby Bottle Campaign is a fun and easy way to help support single mothers and their children. Pick up an empty bottle at church, fill it with your loose change, cash or checks (written to “Sarah’s House”), and drop it back off to the church by Father’s Day, Sunday, June 20. It’s a simple way to get involved to change a mom’s life. Change for Change …..as easy as 1,2,3.

Testimonies:

“Sarah’s House has given me much needed structure. I have a full time job that I absolutely love, considerably less debt, a strong foundation to continue to succeed at my goals, and most importantly, a sense of family that will always be close to my heart. I could never express how thankful I am to be a part of this program and finally have the opportunity to enjoy this pregnancy and the road ahead.”

“I HAVE NOTHING BUT RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR THE PROGRAM AT SARAH’S HOUSE. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND FEEL SO INCREDIBLY BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES.”


“I THANK GOD DAILY FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HELPS SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE THIS PROGRAM. I HOPE TO SOMEDAY IMPACT SOMEONE’S LIFE, IF EVEN A FRACTION OF HOW MUCH SARAH’S HOUSE HAS FOR ME.”

Blood Drive At MPC-March 13, 2021-Impact Of Your Donations

  • March 11, 2021

Please consider signing up to give blood. All safety protocols are followed; masks and distancing required. Your time and generosity will save lives.

Donating Blood Makes an Impact

When you give blood with Vitalant, you have the potential to help hospital patients within your community and, when the need arises, others across the country.

When extreme weather and unforeseen tragedies occur, Vitalant’s experienced nationwide team members jump into action to quickly deliver blood where it’s needed most. The benefits of our larger footprint are vast, including leveraging the coast-to-coast network of donation centers so every donation has the potential to impact more lives.

Many people believe that most blood is needed after major disasters. However, daily personal emergencies and ongoing medical needs of thousands of patients require a constant and ready blood supply. It’s the blood already on hospital shelves that saves lives.

Every day in the U.S., patients in hospitals, surgical centers and emergency treatment facilities need approximately:

36,000 units of red blood cells
7,000 units of platelets
10,000 units of plasma


Read more about everyday people whose lives have been transformed by the generosity of others at Vitalant.org.

How Different Types of Blood Donation Help Patients
Every blood donation you make has an amazing impact on the world–it can save lives.

But did you know there are different types of blood donation? The typical donation is one pint of whole blood, but special equipment allows us to collect parts of your blood separately. These parts are called blood components. This process is called apheresis. While apheresis donations take a little more of your time (from an extra 30 minutes to two hours depending on donation type), these special donations help hospitals to better meet the needs of patients.

Whole Blood Donation

During a whole blood donation, about one pint of your blood is collected. After we test it, the donation is separated into components, like red blood cells and plasma, to help patients in need.

Patients helped: Most often trauma and surgery patients

Recommended Blood Types: All types

Total time: 1 hour
Donation time: 15 minutes

How often you can donate: Every 56 days

Power Red or Double Red Cell Donation

A Power Red donation uses an automated process that removes twice the amount of red cells as a whole blood donation, then returns your platelets and plasma to you.

Patients helped: Pediatric patients, trauma or surgery patients, people with anemia

Recommended Blood Types: O-, O+, A-, B-

Total time: 1.5 to 2 hours
Donation time: 30 to 45 minutes

How often you can donate: Every 112 days up to 3 times a year

Platelet Donation (This is not offered at the MPC donation site. Please go to Vitalant.org for more information about how and where to donate).

Platelets help clot your blood and stop bleeding. During a platelet donation, an automated process removes your platelets and returns your red blood cells and plasma to you. Platelets must be used within five days, meaning platelet donors are needed frequently to ensure patients have enough for their treatments.

Patients helped: Cancer patients, people with blood disorders, open-heart surgeries and organ transplants

Recommended Blood Types: A+, B+, AB+ and AB-

Total time: 2.5 to 3 hours
Donation time: 2 hours

How often you can donate: Every 7 days up to 24 times a year

Plasma Donation

Plasma is the liquid portion of blood. A plasma donation also uses an automated process to remove the plasma from your blood and return the red cells and platelets to your body.

Patients helped: Patients in shock, those with severe burns or clotting disorders

Recommended Blood Types: AB+, AB-

Total time: 1.5 to 2 hours
Donation time: 30 to 45 minutes

How often you can donate: Every 28 days up to 13 times a year
