Welcome from Our President

Venus J. Drummond Jones

I am pleased to welcome you to EDNA’S Love, Inc., a nonprofit, 501c3 organization supporting higher education, blood cancer awareness, and veterans affairs. Established May 30, 2021, our organization was created in tribute to the legacy of my mother, the late Edna G. Neal, whose extraordinary life touched so many.

EDNA’S Love, Inc. plays a pivotal role in bringing social action to issues concerning blood cancer awareness and veterans affairs. Cancer, Sickle Cell Disease, and Lupus patients often rely on blood transfusions to sustain or even save their lives, and these diseases disproportionately ravage communities of color; yet these are the communities that are often the last to donate blood, which leads to critical shortages in blood reserves and contributes to increased difficulties in locating blood matches, which are essential to saving lives.

Please join us in this live-saving mission, as we honor my mother’s love and legacy by continuing the work that mattered so much to her. We invite you to learn more about our exciting work as you peruse our website and by following us on social media.

Thank you, and we look forward to working with you while continuing to serve the communities my mother so dearly loved and depended on.

Sincerely,

Venus J. Jones, President & Founder
EDNA’S Love, Inc.

Do you have the gift of helping others?
Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.
Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ.
All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

1 Peter 4:11
