On September 6, 2025, the Stafford Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held its 6th annual American Red Cross Blood Drive. Members from every ward participated, with thirty-one volunteering their time or donating blood.
The drive was a success, drawing 48 donors and resulting in 44 units of blood collected—enough to bless the lives of at least 132 patients.
This effort is part of a broader tradition of service. In addition to the six Stake Service Drives held at the Stake Center, the Courthouse Road building has hosted 47 drives over the same period, yielding a total of 1,778 units of blood. Collectively, we are nearing the milestone of 2,000 units donated to help those in need.
An added blessing of these drives has been the opportunity to welcome many other members of our community into our meetinghouses—often their first introduction to our faith community.
The next Stake Service Blood Drive is scheduled for September 5, 2026.

A special shout-out went to SNAP for the incredible performance of a Taylor Swift song by Malia Spencer, which caught the attention of Bryan West, the official Taylor Swift reporter from USA Today. His recognition brought extra excitement and JOY to the event!
