Off Road: SpReAding The Love

Back in February I issued a challenge on Facebook to SpReAd the Love.  About fifty or so members of the Armitage fandom on Facebook spent the month donating either a pint of blood or a pound of food in their local communities and while we never took a formal tally there were plenty of "I donated today!" messages.  I've been toying with the idea of doing it again but I was waiting for the right time and with the drama of the last few days it seems the right time has fallen into our collective laps.  If you don't know what I'm talking about consider yourself blessed.  Anyway, it will work the same way this time around in that you can choose to donate either a pint of blood or a pound of food but in addition to Facebook we'll also be doing it on Twitter.  The account to follow is @SpReAdthelove11 and the hashtag will be either #STLPint for a blood donation or #STLPound for a food donation.  If you're on Facebook just search the group name SpRead The Love and ask to be added.  Our little part of the fandom has taken a hit and it's up to us to get back up and stay positive.  Won't you join us?

Edit:  I created a separate page for information including challenge start and end dates that you can click on at the top of the home page.

  1. Will do Jazzy!
    I'm on a standard 56 day blood donation rotation and I'm about due. I'm AB positive, somewhat rare, so they like me to donate. Thanks for doing this.
    Cheers, Grati

  3. Fedoralady is smiling. She's also crying, but in a good way. This is a wonderful idea. The last time I donated blood, the veins in both arms collapsed and my arms ached for days, soooo--I think I will go the food route. :D

  5. I can't donate blood, but I hugged a cat today. I'm organizing a school supply drive. I am a member of Kiwanis and we volunteer in support of needy children. I'll take some food to my local Harvester's. I wanna spReAd the love!
