August 15th is the last date to donate blood someplace else in order for 56 days to pass for donation at the next Trinity Blood Drive.

Sponsor code: TrinityBend (no Space). ID is required to donate.
Sloppy Joe for all the Donors!!! (Donation Accepted to assist with food costs.) Please drink plenty of water also. Rapid Pass available the day of the Drive.
This question was asked of me recently, maybe everyone is interested in the answer: How much iron do I lose when donating blood or platelets?Each time you donate blood, you lose between 220-250 mg of iron. If you donate a power red, you lose twice that amount, about 470 mg of iron. It may take up to 24-30 weeks for your body to replace the iron lost through a blood donation. That time may vary, depending on what your iron level was before donating and if you take iron supplements or multivitamins with iron. https://www.redcrossblood.org/learn-about-blood/iron-and-blood-donation/iron-info-frequent-donors along with several other questions and their answers.

Iron-Rich Foods: The amount and type of iron in your diet is important. (See Below) Some iron-rich foods are:
Meat & Eggs:
Bread & Cereals
Food has two types of iron — heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron is found in meat, fish and poultry. It is the form of iron that is most readily absorbed by your body. You absorb up to 30 percent of the heme iron that you consume. Eating meat generally boosts your iron levels far more than eating non-heme iron.
Non-heme iron is found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables and nuts. Foods with non-heme iron are still an important part of a nutritious, well-balanced diet, but the iron contained in these foods won’t be absorbed as completely. You absorb between two and 10 percent of the non-heme iron that you consume.
When you eat heme iron with foods higher in non-heme iron, the iron will be more completely absorbed by your body. Foods high in vitamin C – like tomatoes, citrus fruits and red, yellow and orange peppers – can also help with the absorption of non-heme iron. (Information from American Red Cross Blood Drive)

Trinity Blood Drive: It was so valuable to provide the juice can tabs for Barb to take to Ronald McDonald house for their fundraising use.
Also, we were able to give the actual juice cans and plastic water bottles for Trinity Lutheran School - Mrs. Linn’s 7th Grade Class to redeem those Recyclable containers.The redeemed Money $$$ will help fund their Washington DC trip this Spring. Thank you!
If you would like, you can continue the collection of Deposit Paid recycle cans and bottles and drop them off at the school for Mrs. Linn to redeem. Thank you in advance for your continued help!!!
And, there were 23 units of blood taken for the saving of multiple lives!!! Thank you to the members of Trinity and the surrounding community who stopped in to assist.
I want to thank the staff of the Red Cross who helped with our Blood Drive and the volunteers who spent their day serving the staff and donors.
Most importantly, we thank our Lord who has blessed us all through the sharing of His Blood. It is actually through the sacrificial giving of His Blood that we have the privilege of serving His people by sharing our blood!
