Osceola blood drive planned

LifeServe Blood Center needs regular blood donors, as well as new first time blood donors to roll up their sleeve this winter to help save lives.

Osceola Community Blood Drive is planned 1 to 6 p.m. Friday, Feb.  6, at Lifepoint Assembly of God, 801 N. Fillmore St.

Typically during the winter months, blood donations tend to decrease simply because of the cold and flu season and treacherous road conditions which can inhibit donors from reaching their donation destination. However, the need for blood remains constant and can often spike in the winter because of automobile accidents and increased surgeries.

Members of the community can help ensure lifesaving blood is available for local hospital patients by giving blood at an upcoming blood drive. It takes less than one hour to save a life. Schedule your appointment now.

Sign up to save a life today. Schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800-287-4903.
