LifeServe Blood Center will be in Jefferson Tuesday for a community blood drive.
Thirty-eight percent of the American population is eligible to give blood, but only 5 percent of those eligible donors actually roll up their sleeves to save lives. “We need LifeServers to make giving blood a year round habit,” a LifeServe Blood Center spokesperson said.
The blood drive will be Oct. 9 from 12:30 to 5:30 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church, 801 W. Lincoln Way, in Jefferson.
Person who want to make an appointment to donate can visit online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800-287-4903.
