URGENT UPDATE: Sanford Worthington Medical Center is hosting a crucial community blood drive on November 6, running from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM. This is a vital opportunity for residents to contribute to local healthcare and potentially save lives.
Donors can easily schedule their donation by visiting cbblifeblood.org and selecting “Donate Blood,” followed by “Blood Drive Calendar” for November 6. Alternatively, call (605) 331-3222 to reserve a time slot.
All participating donors will receive a $20 Hy-Vee gift card as a token of appreciation. Just one blood donation can save up to three lives, providing essential support to friends, family, and even yourself in times of need. The donation process is quick, taking about 30 minutes, but the impact can last a lifetime.
To be eligible, donors must be generally healthy, at least 16 years old (with parental consent), and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds. A photo ID is required at the time of donation. For full details on eligibility or to make an appointment, visit cbblifeblood.org.
This drive is particularly significant as the Community Blood Bank is the exclusive blood provider for Sanford Worthington Medical Center, meaning every donation directly benefits local patients in need.
Act now and make a difference in your community! Your participation could save lives and provide hope to those who depend on blood transfusions. Don’t miss this chance to give back—mark your calendars for November 6 and be a part of something impactful.
