Waukon Community Blood Drive – First Baptist Church

February is Heart Month-Give Blood!

Consider a different way to give back to the heart of the community by making an appointment to give blood on Monday, March 3, from Noon-5pm at the First Baptist Church in south Waukon.

Blood donations play a vital role in heart surgeries, emergency treatment and other medical needs that impact lives. Donating blood is a loving gesture that supports those who rely on the generosity of others.

Blood donations are needed everywhere, even right here in Iowa!
• Blood is essential for a wide range of treatments, including cancer therapies, surgeries, trauma care and organ transplants.
• Blood transfusions are needed in 1 out of 83 infant deliveries.
• Nearly 30% of those who received heart bypass surgery require a blood transfusion.
• Donations have dropped by 60% among 16 to 18 year olds and by 31% among 19 to 24 year olds.

Blood donors are greatly needed! First time donors will find that donating blood is a safe and easy way to save lives and make a difference in the community. One single blood donation can save the lives of up to three sick or injured hospital patients.

To help maintain Iowa’s blood supply, donate at the Waukon Community Blood Drive, on Monday, March 3, at the First Baptist Church in south Waukon.
