Be part of something bigger.
Your donation helps save lives.
In the United States, donated blood saves a life every 2 seconds. The actual donation only takes 6 to 10 minutes—the entire process, including questions and snacks, takes 45 to 60 minutes.
The team at Siouxland Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is excited to partner with Community Blood Bank to launch our annual blood drive.
