Each year, more than 500,000 lives are positively impacted across Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota because of LifeServe Blood Center blood donors.

The Toledo and Tama Communities Blood Drive is set for Tuesday, Feb. 23, from 2-6 p.m. at South Tama Middle School, 201 South Green St., Toledo.

It takes less than one hour to give blood and in that hour, a volunteer blood donor can help save the lives of up to three different hospital patients.
