Urgent Need for Blood Results in Largest Blood Drives of the Year It is now after Thanksgiving and many minds are in full holiday mode.

The event is to highlight that giving blood is a joy and every patient receiving the blood will experience the joy of life because of your donation. Every donor will be able to draw for a prize that range from oil changes and car washes to food vouchers, spa certificates, TVs, Airpods, diamond necklaces, bicycles, Bluetooth speakers, kitchen appliances, and so much more all thanks to our wonderful sponsors. LifeSouth along with various sponsors will also offer donors a $10 e-gift card, a commemorative event t-shirt, and free food too!
