Faith and Blue

Faith and Blue is sponsoring a blood drive at the fellowship hall at First Christian Church on Saturday, Oct. 8, from noon to 5 p.m.

If you give blood in October, the American Red Cross is offering a treat. You will receive a $5 e-card for a merchant of your choice. Also enjoy some buttery popcorn and a refreshing drink with your next movie screening. (Terms apply with this offer, see rcblood.org/boo).

To schedule an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood. org and enter sponsor code: SalemFatith&Blue or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.

The church is located at 305 E. Walnut St. in Salem.

Faith and Blue is a program that binds police officers and community members in an effort to build neighborhoods where everyone feels safe and included. Faith-based organizations are key to building bonds between members of the police department and the diverse communities they protect.
