6 Blood Drives Scheduled for Condit in 2024
Condit Saves Over 3,606 Lives
Condit Blood Drives have saved 3,606 as part of the New Beginnings Program for Condit Presbyterian Church. We have saved 1,000 lives every 3 years.
“Blood Drives are one way a small church can help save people’s lives,” commented the pastor of Condit Presbyterian Church. Condit hosts 6 blood drives a year in the Fellowship Hall as one of their missions.
Unfortunately only 8% of the eligible donors give blood. This means the Red Cross is getting less blood than is needed.
People return to give blood at Condit because we treat our donors as guests in our home and look forward to seeing them in 2 months.

Orndorf after giving 100 pints!
Dave Orndorf gave his 112th pint of blood at the Condit Drive on February 9, 2024, to complete donating 14 gallons of blood.
After years of giving his special blood which was needed for babies, Dave had some health issues which put him on a blood thinner so he was unable to donate. “It felt good to give the 100th,” noted Orndorf. when he reached that goal. Dave has continued to donate at Condit every other month.
Polly Horn, coordinator of the Condit Blood Drives, presented the T-Shirt to Dave. “I’ll wear it proudly,” he responded.
