Every three seconds someone needs blood, the only way to ensure that those needs are met is through those community members coming forward to give blood. “The need for volunteer blood donors in the community continues to grow yearly as our community grows,” states Ken Versteeg, Executive Director, Community Blood Bank.  “The Community Blood Bank supplies over 550 units of blood each week to people in the Sioux Falls region including 38 area hospitals. Among those who benefit from donated blood are trauma and burn victims, cancer patients, and persons undergoing surgery. Being prepared for the next trauma starts with maintaining a strong blood supply for our patients. We ask you to consider joining to give blood and provide hope to those going through extremely difficult, life-changing situations. You have the power to make the difference.”
