LifeServe Blood Center is seeking eligible blood donors to give blood at upcoming community blood drives this holiday season to prevent a blood shortage.
A community blood drive is scheduled in Jefferson on Tuesday, Dec. 14, from 12:30 – 5:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 801 W. Lincoln Way. Appointments are required.
Each holiday season, schedules fill up with holiday plans and traditions, travel, and other end of the year to-do tasks, taking up time that folks may have otherwise spent at a blood donation appointment. Unfortunately, that decrease in donations does not line up with the increased need for blood in local medical centers.
Persons who want to schedule a blood donation appointment can do so online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800-287-4903.
