Blood donors save lives - each donation can help up to three hospital patients in their critical time of need.

There is no substitute for your donation - each and every time you give you make a difference.

More than 3,000 units of blood are needed each week to meet the needs of our hospital patients.

Nine out of ten people who live to the age of 70 will use blood during their lifetime, yet less than five percent of the eligible population donates blood.

In the United States, blood products that are transfused to hospital patients must be from an unpaid volunteer blood donor.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE BLOOD DONATION CAUSE!

It isn’t just blood donors who help ensure the community blood supply is strong and stable. From blood drive chairpeople to volunteers, LifeServe Blood Center relies on the generous dedication of people looking to make a difference in our neighborhood!

The strength of our community blood supply is dependent on local donors, businesses, and organizations that donate and sponsor blood drives with LifeServe Blood Center.
