ABERDEEN, S.D.(Press Release)- The need for blood is a stark reality. Every two seconds, someone’s life depends on a blood transfusion. Beyond trauma cases, individuals with cancer, sickle cell disease, and those undergoing childbirth rely on these crucial transfusions. Shockingly, only three percent of Americans donate blood yearly, as reported by America’s Blood Centers. These centers, responsible for collecting 60 percent of our nation’s blood supply, cannot meet the demand alone. In recognition of National Blood Donor Month, LifeServe Blood Center expresses gratitude to all selfless contributors. We urge eligible donors to join LifeServe in saving lives through blood donation. Together, we can make a tremendous difference in countless individuals’ lives.
