Storm Lake Community Blood Drive 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. at St. Mark

The Storm Lake Community Blood Drive took place at St. Mark Lutheran Church on Feb. 14, 2026, operating from 12:30-5:30 p.m. Donors were asked to secure appointments through the LifeServe Blood Center website or by calling 800-287-4903, and organizers reported volunteers and neighbors staffed the collection during the scheduled five-hour window.

Public notices listed the event with scheduling details and the drive’s time and venue; the Iowa Public Notices item presented the core directions to donors and the local entry point for appointments and phone scheduling. Storm Lake Radio also promoted the drive and advised residents they could "schedule appointments or walk in (depending on availability)." Storm Lake Radio additionally "encouraged eligible donors to participate, emphasized ongoing needs for blood supplies."

The Iowa Public Notices posting included social sharing options for the announcement — Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), BlueSky, LinkedIn, Email, and Print — and displayed the comments section text "No comments on this item" alongside "Please log in to comment by clicking here." Those interface details accompanied the event listing for Storm Lake donors seeking more information or to share the notice on social platforms.

Local media contact details are available for follow-up: the Storm Lake Times Pilot issue header in the materials shows "Storm Lake Times Pilot 2-13-26" and lists the paper’s office at 220 W. Railroad St., P.O. Box 487, Storm Lake, IA 50588, with Phone: 1-712-732-4991. The public notices and radio summaries did not include a street address for St. Mark Lutheran Church, nor did they specify donor eligibility requirements such as age or weight, so residents with questions were directed to call LifeServe at 800-287-4903 for appointment details, eligibility information, and any guidance on walk-in availability.

Because the community notices emphasized ongoing needs for blood supplies but left several operational details unspecified, potential donors in Buena Vista County were advised to confirm requirements and any last-minute changes by contacting LifeServe scheduling by phone before heading to St. Mark Lutheran Church.
