Parkston blood drive February 12
Give from the heart.
Save a heart.
When someone donates with LifeServe, their blood stays local. That means it's available for patients right here in our community--a neighbor recovering from surgery, a friend facing cancer treatment, a trauma victim, or a newborn fighting for a strong start. One donation can help save up to three local lives.
Together, we save lives.
The next blood drive is scheduled Thursday, February 12, from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at 401 W. Glynn Drive in Parkston.
