Paula Hall donates blood at the July 23 blood drive with help from phlebotomists Amber Johnson and Cassie McDonald. Piney Green Missionary Baptist Church strives to have a blood drive annually to support the community. One unit of blood can save up to three lives, and the blood donated through Sampson Regional Medical Center will stay in the community, as SRMC is one of three hospitals in eastern North Carolina with its own blood bank. The women’s ministry at Piney Green sponsored the blood drive, and women’s ministry director Lesia Henderson said ‘It’s rewarding to me, and refreshing, helping the community. We should help our community and support it to its fullest.’
