Extreme winter weather has caused widespread disruptions across the Midwest, resulting in canceled blood drives and closures of LifeServe Blood Center Donor Centers across Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Illinois.
This had led to the loss of more than 900 blood donations, significantly impacting the supply of lifesaving blood products for patients in need.
There are two blood drives scheduled in the broadcast area for Monday, one in Hampton at Trinity Lutheran Church from 12:30-6pm.
The other will be taking place at the Eldora St. Mary’s Parish Center Monday from 1-5pm.
For more information, or to schedule an appointment to donate blood, call 1-800-287-49-03, or visit lifeservebloodcenter.org.
