Home ›Blood Donor Day set for Feb. 4 in Waukon
The next LifeServe Blood Center Blood Drive will be held Thursday, February 4, from 12:30 to 5 p.m., at the First Baptist Church in south Waukon. Blood drives are held the first Thursday of every month in Waukon to allow for more donors to give. The LifeServe Blood Center supplies Veterans Memorial Hospital with their blood and blood products.
The LifeServe Blood Center is seeking donors to ensure a safe and plentiful blood supply in Iowa. Because there is no substitute for human blood, the need for donors is continuous.
Over half of the United States population is eligible to donate blood, yet less than four percent donate on a regular basis. A single donation of blood can be used to save up to three lives and help in treatment of cancer patients, accident victims, hemophiliacs and surgery patients. The LifeServe Blood Center is committed to serving the needs of Iowans by saving lives through volunteer blood donation.
The blood that is collected is tested carefully, according to the federal regulations.
To help maintain Iowa’s blood supply, donate at the Waukon Community Blood Drive, Thursday, February 4, at the First Baptist Church in south Waukon. Eligible donors must be at least 17 years of age, be in general good health and weight at least 120 pounds. Appointments are encouraged and walk-ins can only be accepted as the schedule permits. To schedule your appointment, please call the LifeServe Blood Center at 800-287-4903.
