STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) — A Starkville church brings the community together to help two children battling cancer.

Meadowview Baptist Church is hosted a blood drive Wednesday to benefit 8-year-old JoJo Lindner, and 2-year-old Cole Elam.

Both JoJo and Cole are undergoing chemotherapy treatment and require whole blood and platelets from time to time.

JoJo’s father, Brian Lindner, says an adequate blood supply is critical to their care.

“Be The Match”, an organization that helps match patients with bone marrow donors, was aslo at the blood drive conducting registration.
