Le Mars Community High School is teaming up with LifeServe Blood Center to run a blood drive today, starting at 9 am inside the competition gym.
The drive is open to qualifying students, staff, and community members 16 and older to donate blood to LifeServe. The school has held an annual blood drive in the fall since 2014.
Erin Rolling, the middle and high school nurse at Le Mars Community, told KLEM that the collected blood will be used within the community.
During the drive, students volunteer to assist donors and medical staff, Rolling says.
Rolling says it’s important that the school holds a blood drive for students and community members alike.
Timeslots are still open for today, and Rolling encourages donors to come and give. The link to register for a timeslot is available here.
