– LifeServe Blood Center is asking community members to
show their support for local firefighters this May in conjunction with International Firefighters’
Day observed annually on May 4th.
LifeServe Blood Center is partnering with local firefighters to host special mobile blood drives
across Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Illinois April 23-May 2 as well as at our 14 Donor
Centers Thursday, May 1-Saturday, May 3. This promotion aims to honor firefighters while
providing much needed blood donations to community hospitals. The need for donations
increases during the summer months due to increased outdoor activities and travel.
“Firefighters are committed to the protection of life and property and put their lives on the line
regularly for the sake of others. Their commitment is something that everyone can appreciate
and support. To make sure we’re prepared for every situation, it’s important that donors give
blood regularly, especially as we head into the summer,” said Tim Paluch, LifeServe Blood
Center Director of PR and Marketing.
Donors who roll up a sleeve to give the gift of life at one of the participating locations will
receive a free axe pizza cutter while supplies last! For more information on the hours and
locations or to book your appointment, visit lifeserve.info/FF2025 or call 800-287-4903.
