Slots are still available for donors, so if you can donate during that time, call Judy at 610-767-5061 to make an appointment.

One of the effects of Hurricane Sandy is that many usual donors are unable to donate. But the need is still there, so others have to step up and replace them.

Another need heightened by Sandy is food.

Our local food pantry at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on Mechanicsville Road can certainly use your donations, especially with Thanksgiving on the way.
