Tuesday evening the Plymouth Park Board approved partnering with the American Red Cross to use the Webster Rec Center as a blood donation center next year. The first two dates approved are February 26th and April 17th.
This change in locations for the Red Cross blood donations centers is due to security issues in the various Plymouth Community School Corporation buildings. The school corporation will permit a blood donation center at Plymouth High School because the drive is closed to school students and staff only.
The park department will not be responsible for advertising, donor attraction, or blood drive services. Those will be handled by the blood drive sponsor. The park department will only need to provide the space, tables and chairs at the Webster Rec Center.
“Out of the Darkness” a 501C3, was granted free use of the VFW Shelter in River Park Square on Sunday, May 4, 2025, to hold their annual suicide prevention and awareness walk.
Kristen Berkey is the Plymouth “Out of the Darkness” walk chair.
Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United State, and the suicide rate continues to rise.
More information on the Plymouth walk will be available at www.afsp.org/plymouth .
