The May 12th blood drive at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church brought in 48 possible donors and 49 pints of blood was collected. The reason there are more pints than donors is if someone gives Double Red that is counted as two pints, but they must skip the next blood drive. The donors that came in were: Kevin Wicker, Doris Nettles, Fran Mack, Mike Kuszmaul, Barbara Rhode, Bobby Rhode, Mitchell Bennett, Cynthia Lyons, Hilton Fryar, Jack Jones, Randy Hoats, Cheryl Clayton, Rebecca Foster, John Bowman, Mary Howe, Nelson How, Steve Blake, Celeste Stone, Eva Franklin, Kathleen Castle, Thomas Whitacre, Laura Bullock, Garrick Sanders, Gene Wynn, Kyron Boyert, Blaine Fender, Vicki Syfrett, Cynthia Newman, Brenda Washington, Summer White, Jessie Maloney, Sarah Judy, Katherine Heckler, Evelyn Freeman, Sonya Manigo, Jeanette Smith, Dr. Riddick Ackerman III, Kristina Moore, Janice Ulmer, Perry Ramsey, Jana Ramsey, Richard Haley, Terry Pournelle, P.A. Pournelle, Marilyn Peters, Dan Fogle Jr., Konia Haynes, and Norma Weeks.
Ms. Weeks, the Colleton County Blood Drive Coordinator, also wishes to give special thanks to Andi Steward who comes from Bluffton to assist at every blood drive.
The next blood drive will be July 14, 2025. For more information call Colleton County Blood Drive Coordinator Norma Weeks at 843-538-8950.
