Winter Weather Impacts Blood Donations

The American Red Cross South Carolina Blood Services Region canceled and postponed several blood drives across the region earlier this week in response to the inclement weather conditions.

Winter weather often causes delays and cancellations for schools, work and community events.  But it also means cancellations of vitally important blood donation opportunities. Since this Monday, winter weather has forced donation centers to be closed and 21 blood drives to be canceled across the South Carolina Region, which means the Red Cross was not able to collect more than 800 units of blood and platelets it was counting on.

Schedule an appointment to give blood through the American Red Cross today at one of the following blood drives and help save lives. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org for more information or to schedule an appointment to donate blood or platelets.

SC Lt. Governor Andre Bauer Goes Barefoot! Join Bauer in touching the lives of 46,000 children by kindly making a donation. Every $5 touches a child.

Hope Delivered To South Carolina Families

46,000 children in the state of South Carolina will receive a pair of shoes as part of Lt. Governor Andre Bauer’s partnership with Samaritan’s Feet. The shoe recipients are students who are on free and price-reduced lunch programs.

Thousands of South Carolina residents will have their feet washed, given a new pair of shoes, and touched with a message of hope through a partnership between Samaritan’s Feet, Department of Social Services, United Way, South Carolina Department of Education and churches throughout the state. Samaritan's Feet (www.samaritansfeet.org) is a humanitarian relief organization that puts shoes on kid's feet all around the world. They will partner with hundreds of volunteers to give these children a pair of shoes. The shoe distribution will take place at various locations in all 46 counties in the state.
