This holiday season, LifeServe Blood Center is urging families in South Dakota and Nebraska to come together and create a new and meaningful tradition: donating blood as a family to save lives in their communities.
LifeServe Blood Center is the lifeline for more than 160 hospitals primarily in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Hospitals in the community have chosen LifeServe as their sole provider of blood and blood products, meaning that when you donate blood with LifeServe, you can save lives in your neighborhood. As a community-based blood center, LifeServe only hosts blood drives in the communities where that blood will go back into the area hospitals.
As we enter the winter months, inclement weather, holidays, and travel can keep donors from coming in to donate. Tragedy can strike at a moments notice, especially amidst winter weather. “You never know when you, your neighbor, a family member, or a friend may need a lifesaving blood transfusion; and when they do, those blood products will come from blood donors who give with LifeServe Blood Center.” said Shay Willis, Director of PR & Marketing.
Area communities are full of generous volunteer blood donors, and we are hoping to grow our mission this year. The holiday season is the perfect time to start a new tradition that goes beyond gift-giving. By coming together as a family to donate blood, you can make a direct impact on the lives of those in need. LifeServe encourages families to turn this act of kindness into a cherished holiday tradition, reinforcing the spirit of giving back during a time when many are in need.
