If every donor gave just one additional time each year, we could eliminate blood shortages entirely. Imagine the lives that could be saved—patients in need, neighbors, and loved ones relying on donors like you.

LifeServe Blood Center is a non-profit, community-based blood center that has served the needs of local hospitals and patients in our region since 1947. As one of the 15 largest blood centers in the country, LifeServe provides blood products to more than 170 hospitals primarily in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

LifeServe is the primary supplier of blood and blood products for Iowa Methodist at UnityPoint Health, and we are so excited to partner with them for a Blood Drive on September 16th!

Living Ava's Way is in honor of Ava Hutchinson and the way she changed lives through her spirit, drive, and kindness. Here you will find inspiration through the lessons we learned from Ava. There is also raw pain as we survive her loss and learn to not just survive but thrive in her light. There is also joy in sharing her legacy of giving as we set out to change the world one smile at a time.
