EATON — The Eaton First Church of God began the New Year with a new way of widening the lifesaving “ripple effect” of its “Vincent Strong” blood drives in memory of Vincent Jones. The Jan. 9 blood drive was the first to collect COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma and included the first CCP donation by blood drive organizer and COVID survivor Mindy Sue Jones-Vannatter.
“I believe in the ripple effect of paying it forward,” Mindy told WDTN-TV. “A lot of people blessed my family, blood donors and others. I want to do everything I can to pay that forward. And when you help someone, they eventually will help someone else.”
