Community Blood Drive at YPPC is May 25! | | |
|
Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the US needs blood!
In the coming week, we hope to help with a donation of a minimum of twenty-two pints of blood. With five days to go, nineteen people have signed up to donate. Three others have made verbal commitments.
It is not too late to make an appointment online by clicking the button below. Please enter the sponsor code, YeamansParkPres, when it is requested.
Walk-ins also are welcome!
All YPPC donors will receive a Red Cross water bottle to help us stay hydrated while we save lives!
Also, on Sunday morning, Brandon Kenney, Account Manager, American Red Cross Blood Services – Coastal SC Region, will present a Minute for Mission and join us for Fellowship.

Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina (PCSC) Ambassador
In addition to supporting the annual Mother’s Day Offering, another way that our congregation can support the mission of PCSC is by selecting one member of our congregation to serve as a PSCS Ambassador. The ambassador will attend a meeting each Spring to hear an update on PCSC, promote the annual Mother’s Day Offering, and serve as a liaison between YPPC and the Village at Summerville.
We are happy to announce that Sue Browning, one of our newest YPPC members, will serve in this key role. Sue will make regular visits to our members who are Village residents and will keep us informed of ways that we can show our support.

May Food Pantry Needs... | |
|
Did you know that each food pantry family receives their choice of a fresh loaf of white or wheat bread with their food order? This, along with peanut butter and jelly, ensures that each person can have a tasty and satisfying PB&J!
Thank you for making this possible!

Current Covid Guidance
Our Covid Protocol level remains at Phase 1 - CDC Risk of Spread - Low.
This is based on CDC's revised Risk-of-Spread Metric. In this system, a low risk of spread is green, a moderate risk is yellow, and a high risk is red. The risk level for each county will be posted each week and that will determine the Safety Protocol level we will follow. Our tri-county area currently is at Green (low risk).
Masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer will remain available to anyone who would like them.
