Memphis church, Red Cross partner for blood drives to help sickle cell patients

Sickle cell disease is the most prevalent genetic blood ailment in the U.S., primarily affecting people of African origin who may need repeated blood transfusions.

Black churches across Tennessee are working with the American Red Cross to provide sickle cell anemia patients with much-needed blood, but only one church has taken on the task in Memphis.

New Covenant Seventh-Day Adventist Church is the first church in the city to hold sickle cell blood drives regularly, today!
