“Committing to give blood is a decision to improve the lives of people in the community requiring health services. These individuals could be very vulnerable, potentially fighting a serious illness, and with just one donation of blood, their lives could be changed,” states Ken Versteeg, Executive Director, Community Blood Bank. “Often times, people don’t consider donating blood until a loved one requires a blood transfusion. We need blood every day from individuals that decide to volunteer and give without knowing how their donation will affect another’s life. We encourage you to step forward and support the community’s blood supply at this blood drives on May 19. You will not be disappointed with the feeling you receive knowing you saved a life.”

Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 years old with a signed parent consent form), weigh 110 lbs or more and be in good general health. It is recommended that a person eat and drink plenty of fluids prior to donating blood. Please bring an ID with you at the time of donation.
