On this Veterans Day, ImpactLife proudly honors the brave men and women who have served our country. Our commitment to supporting veterans extends beyond today; it’s a mission that drives our organization every day as we work to supply lifesaving blood products to hospitals, clinics, and communities that care for our nation’s veterans and their families.
In gratitude for their service, ImpactLife provides donation opportunities to support critical needs in our communities. Veterans, their families, and community members are invited to participate in blood drives across our service regions, where each blood donation has the potential to save lives. With every pint collected, donors join a legacy of care and courage that reflects the dedication of our veterans.
"As an organization, we are deeply grateful for our veterans’ sacrifices," said Amanda Hess, Vice President, Donor Relations & Marketing at ImpactLife. "This Veterans Day, we encourage our communities to give back in a meaningful way. By donating blood, we’re not only honoring veterans but also ensuring that essential resources are available to those who need them most."
Partners for Life
ImpactLife is also proud to expand its Partners for Lifeprogram, which invites local groups, businesses, and civic organizations to partner with us in sustaining our blood supply. Through collaborations with veteran organizations, first responder networks, and community leaders, Partners for Life builds connections that serve and strengthen our communities.
