DONATE LIFE TODAY! AT ST. BENEDICT CATHOLIC CHURCH

This past weekend Donate Life Today had the opportunity to participate in St. Benedict Catholic Church's first Parishoner Health Fair! The goal of St. Benedict’s Health and Wellness Committee is to raise awareness about healthy lifestyles and introduce businesses and organizations to the church community. It was a fun, interactive event with approximately 100 parishioners. Two of our community advocates- Marta Baldwin, a donor mom, and Annie Fuglevand who received Marta's son Cole's liver - spent their Sunday morning inspiring others to learn more about donation and register their donation wishes. It is always an honor to be welcomed with open arms in faith based communities, we are grateful for the invitation and the support of donation by Father Steve Sallis, the Pastor.
This event further demonstrates the support of religion for organ and tissue donation. For those who are looking for opportunities to build awareness houses of worship are very happy to include donation as a part of their informational program and community outreach. We look forward to receiving your stories and examples of what you are doing in your community.
