LifeServe Blood Center and the Stanley County High School National Honor Society teamed up to hold LifeServe’s first blood drive in the Fort Pierre/Pierre area since taking over as the sole supplier of blood products for Avera St. Mary’s Hospital in Pierre at the beginning of this year.
LifeServe Territory Representative Abbie Arneson says 38 donors were able to give 44 total units of blood. She says the units donated can help save up to 132 lives.
The next LIFESERVE Blood Drive in Pierre/ Fort Pierre will be the 18th Annual Tyler Wilcox Memorial Guns n’ Hoses event. It will be held:

LifeServe Blood Center and the Stanley County High School National Honor Society are hosting a blood drive today (Oct. 4. 2022) from 12:30-5:15pm CT in the old high school gym in Fort Pierre.
LifeServe Territory Representative Abbie Arneson says they still have openings for donors to come in.
Arneson says while the name LifeServe may not be familiar, they’re been working in South Dakota for decades.
For those who are faithful blood donors to the annual Tyler Wilcox Memorial Guns n’ Hoses Blood Drive, Arneson says today is the last day you can donate blood and still be eligible for that event.
Blood donations made with LifeServe are used to help those in the community where the blood was collected. You can find more information at www.lifeservebloodcenter.org.
