Blood drive

Saturday in city

First Baptist Church in Dunkirk will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 876 Central Ave., Dunkirk.

For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call 716-366-6634 or sign up online at redcrossblood.org – search “Dunkirk, NY.”

“First Baptist Church – Dunkirk is committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations,” Pastor Mark Massaro said. “This blood drive is our way of giving staff, colleagues and neighbors an opportunity to help save lives.”

Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross.

“We urge community members to donate blood and help ensure that patients in local hospitals have a supply of blood ready and waiting before an emergency occurs. There’s no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life.”

According to the Red Cross, donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative.

Bake sale set for Saturday

SOUTH DAYTON — The Villenova Burial Association will be holding their eighth annual “Love Remembered” Bake Sale in the entryway of the South Dayton Supermarket on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. There will be dozens of homemade goodies, including pies, bread, cookies, candy, cupcakes, cakes, etc. There will also be a donation box.

The fundraiser theme, “Love Remembered,” is a symbol of remembering those held close in our hearts during this holiday celebrating love.

All proceeds will help defray the maintenance and operating costs of the Villenova Cemetery. The event also offers an opportunity for members of the community to learn about the Association and how they might help in efforts to maintain and preserve the over 200-year-old Cemetery.
