There will be a community blood drive Tuesday, March 10, from 12:30 to 5:30 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church, 801 W. Lincoln Way, in Jefferson. Appointments to give blood can be made online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or by calling 800-287-4903. Walk-ins will be taken as time allows.
“It takes less than one hour to donate blood and in that one hour, blood donors will do more than most will do in a lifetime – they will save lives. Just one blood donation will help save the lives of up to three different hospital patients,” a LifeServe Blood Center press release stated.
More than 90 percent of the population will need a blood transfusion at some point in their life. “Pay it forward now by giving a lifesaving blood donation and be a community hero,” the press release stated.
As one of the 15 largest blood centers in the country, LifeServe Blood Center provides blood and blood products to more than 100 hospitals located across Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
