• Because of the critically low supply, The Blood Connection (TBC) is now having to back-order blood products. This has affected 12 hospital partners so far.
• 48% of days this month, TBC DID NOT collect enough blood to cover hospitals’ needs. For comparison, in May of 2020 (during the pandemic) TBC collected enough to cover those needs 84% of the days.
• There is a high likelihood that TBC will have to start rationing blood by the end of the weekend.
• Heading into a holiday weekend – hospitals are stocking up their blood supply. TBC has already not been able to provide those products.
• The community is the ONLY solution to this dangerous problem. The blood supply for local hospitals is in the community’s hands.

A Scottish fairy, La Sylphide, enters the dream of a young Scotsman, then allures him when he wakes. On the eve of his wedding, a sorceress reveals that his fiancé and best friend are actually a better match. Spirited Scottish dances infuse the first act’s pre-wedding celebration as the fairy makes her flirtations clear to the Scotsman. Sadly, if a human touches the fairy, she will lose her wings and perish. As the second act descends into the Scottish woods, the sorceress offers the Scotsman a charmed scarf and an ill-fated plan to romance the fairy.

There is so much strength in nonprofit collaboration and our work with WNC nonprofit Bounty & Soul is incredibly vital to our community as there is a clear intersection with our services.

An estimated 50.4 million people currently experience food insecurity and research has shown that prolonged periods of food insecurity may establish problematic eating patterns in both adults and children. For some of these food insecure individuals, disordered eating habits can progress into a fully developed eating disorder.

Please join Abbie on June 7th at 5:30pm – RSVP here by Noon Friday 6/4 to receive your Zoom link  for this FREE introductory conversation about food security & food justice. In this hour-long session, Abbie will discuss food insecurity statistics and basics, what food insecurity can look like, how food insecurity and security intersects the work we are doing  with eating disorders awareness & recovery, and resources & approaches to support people experiencing food insecurity.

Abbie Young, RD, LDN, RYT, CMI is a contractor with Bounty & Soul- a local food security, food justice, and community health & nutrition non-profit and an Outpatient Dietitian with Nutritious Thoughts- a group practice of Registered Dietitians who specialize in eating disorders, non-diet approaches, Health at Every Size, and more.
