Throughout the year, we collect items, sort them, and deliver to people in need.
January and August
We host the Red Cross twice a year for a blood drive. Individuals in good health that are 16 years and older are eligible to donate blood. Appointments are made directly at redcrossblood.org and use sponsor code: Johnny Cake Churches, or call the Red Cross at 800.733.2767. SOTV recruits volunteers to check-in donors and serve snacks in the canteen.
