Summer in the Midwest means vacation, family holidays, stunning sunsets, fresh sweet corn, long bicycle rides, crowded state fairs, and an increased need for blood. While you enjoy your fun and summer holidays, the need for blood never takes a vacation.

This year we challenge you to add “saving local lives” to your summer bucket list by donating blood with LifeServe. Return from your summer break with good vibes knowing you’re a lifesaver. Let everyone know by rocking our latest summer t-shirt available on the donor store for 200 points. While supplies last!

LifeServe Blood Center held a blood drive in Wagner on Thursday, June 1, and had a GREAT turnout! 34 donors were able to donate and 39 units of life saving blood were collected! Thank you to every donor who participated in the drive and helped to boost the LOCAL blood supply! The units donated at the blood drive can help save up to 117 lives! (A reminder to donors that they can easily transfer their lifetime donations to LifeServe!
