Event Description:

Grinnell United Methodist Church is hosting the Life Serve Blood Drive on Wednesday, March 19 beginning at 9:30AM. 

To schedule an appointment to donate, please visit lifeservebloodcenter.org or call (800) 287-4903. 

Blood donation with LifeServe is a quick and painless process. The entire donation experience only takes about an hour. LifeServe also shares the following perks of giving blood.

• Save lives – one pint of whole, donated blood can save up to three lives.
• Mini physical – donors can find out their blood type, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and hemoglobin (iron) levels.
• Oil change – the body replaces donated blood with fresh blood; consider a blood donation as an oil change for your body.

All donors should be in overall good health and are encouraged to be rested and well-nourished at the time of donation.

• Appointments are highly encouraged.
• Blood donors should pre-screen themselves for fever prior to donation appointments.
• Donors must be at least 16 years or older. If first time donors are 16 or 17 years old they must have a signed LifeServe Blood Center parent/guardian permission form.

One in seven people entering a hospital need blood and less than ten percent of the eligible U.S. population donates annually. Thank you for being a part of this life-saving mission!
