It’s that time again. Riverside will be hosting another blood drive for the Indiana Blood Center on Sunday, October 9 from 1:30 p.m. – 3 p.m. The Bloodmobile will be in the Riverside parking lot. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this life-saving network in our community. You can sign up at the worship service on Sunday or you can sign up online HERE.

Indiana Blood Center is a vital link in Indiana’s health care infrastructure, supplying more than 550 units of blood to more than 60 Indiana hospitals every day. The nonprofit community service organization was founded in 1952 to provide a continuous, safe and adequate supply of blood products and testing services. For more information about the blood donation process visit www.indianablood.org.

In conjunction with our Back to School Bash on Saturday, August 20, Riverside will be collecting school supplies for Miller Elementary School in Lafayette.  The school supplies will be for families that are not able to provide supplies for their children.  Click here to see the school supplies list for Miller.  You can pick whatever supplies you are able to purchase, buy them, and then bring them to the church building or office.

Additionally, Lindsay Umbeck put a list together showing where you can find many of the school supplies on sale this week (August 1-August 6).  What she discovered is below.
