Holy Trinity Lutheran is a group member of the Rex Blood Plan, which is a blood bank, associated with Rex Hospital (and a member of the American Association of Blood Banks). As a group member of the Blood Plan all members of Holy Trinity who need to receive blood while at Rex Hospital can do so without having to pay the replacement costs of that blood. That's because some members of Holy Trinity have donated blood to the Blood Plan on behalf of Holy Trinity. If you would be willing to donate blood for your church (and your community), it's easy to do. You need to be over 17 years old, weigh more than 110 pounds, and be in good health. It only takes about 45 minutes from start to finish to donate. The Rex Blood Plan is located at 2709 Blue Ridge Road, Suite 150, in the Blue Ridge Medical Center II building.

If you would like to make an appointment or have any questions, please call 784-4750. Your support of the Rex Blood Plan benefits your church and your community and is deeply appreciated by all of us at Holy Trinity – please prayerfully consider this ministry.
