URGENT UPDATE: Sanford Worthington Medical Center is set to host a vital community blood drive on November 6, from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 4:30 p.m. This is a critical opportunity for local residents to contribute to saving lives and ensuring that blood supplies remain strong for the community.
The blood drive, organized in collaboration with the Community Blood Bank, encourages donors to schedule a time by visiting cbblifeblood.org or by calling (605) 331-3222. As a thank you for their generosity, all donors will receive a $20 Hy-Vee gift card.
A single blood donation can save up to three lives, making this event crucial for patients in need. Donating blood only takes about 30 minutes, but the impact lasts a lifetime. Whether it’s a loved one, a friend, or even yourself, your contribution can provide hope in urgent times.
To participate, donors must be generally healthy, at least 16 years old (with parental consent), and weigh at least 110 pounds. It is important to bring a photo ID to the donation site.
This blood drive is not just a routine event; it is essential as the Community Blood Bank serves as the sole blood provider to Sanford Worthington Medical Center. This means that every donation will directly benefit local patients.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: Mark your calendars for November 6, and take a moment to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements. Visit cbblifeblood.org for more information, and help spread the word by sharing this urgent call to action with friends and family. Your participation could make all the difference in someone’s life.
