“We see patients every day who owe their lives to blood donors, including many first-time donors who made that crucial decision to help,” explained Mr. Versteeg. “Cancer patients, accident victims, surgical patients, and those with blood disorders all depend on the kindness of donors who choose to give.”

People interested in donating blood must be generally healthy, at least 16 years old (with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds. Please bring a photo ID with you to your donation. For more information about the blood drive, eligibility requirements, or to schedule an appointment, log onto cbblifeblood.org. Community Blood Bank is the sole blood provider to all Sioux Falls hospitals. This means when you donate blood with Community Blood Bank your donation will stay local for patients at all Sioux Falls area hospitals.
