❤️ Newnan showed up for sickle cell awareness!

Yesterday’s blood drive at Greater Love Bible Church was a beautiful example of what can happen when community, faith, education, and service come together. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to support — especially those who rolled up their sleeves and donated blood. Every donor made a choice that could help save lives, and we do not take that lightly. A very special thank you to Amanda Tucker, our Community Health Worker and Transportation Navigator, who spearheaded and coordinated this effort in her own community. Amanda continues to turn advocacy into action, and we are so proud of the way she brings people together around sickle cell awareness and support. ❤️ We are also deeply grateful to Pastor Stafford Dudley and Greater Love Bible Church for opening their doors and creating space for this lifesaving effort, and to the incredible LifeSouth Community Blood Centers team for their professionalism, care, and hard work throughout the day. Thank you as well to Chick-fil-A for providing digital meal cards for our blood donors, and to every family member, church member, friend, advocate, and supporter who wore red, shared information, encouraged others, prayed, donated, or simply showed up. Not everyone who wants to donate is able to, and we appreciate every person who came with the heart to help. But for those who are eligible and able: your donation matters. One donation can help save up to three lives. Yesterday was about more than collecting blood. It was about reminding our community that sickle cell awareness must also lead to action. To every donor: THANK YOU, HEROES. ❤️🩸 #SickleCellAwarenessMonth #SickleCellDisease #SickleCellHero #BloodDonation #BloodDiversity
