Blood drive at Trinity Church to be held on May 21

Trinity Church (330 Ravenwood Ave., Menlo Park) is hosting its first-ever blood drive this Saturday, May 21 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Emails organizer Lynne Bramlett: “The volunteers helping are coming from Trinity Church, MPC Ready (disaster preparedness building organization) and the Newcomers of the Mid Peninsula Club.

“I decided organize a blood drive after learning about the tremendous shortage of available blood. This is mostly due to corporate blood drives being cancelled during the Covid-19 era.

“The Blood Drive is a community drive — open to anyone.”
