Estherville, IA – Community Blood Bank will be hosting a community blood drive at Avera Holy Family Health on Wednesday, December 11 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm.  The public will have an opportunity to donate blood to impact patients’ lives in the area.       

“The importance of residents donating blood to the local supplies intensifies as we enter the holiday season,” states Ken Versteeg, Executive Director, Community Blood Bank.  “Many people travel throughout the holidays increase the potential for accidents and use for blood during traumas.  Community Blood Bank relies solely on volunteer blood donors throughout the area to provide blood for local patients.  We are looking for a great turnout for this community event to keep the blood supply strong.”
