Today, voters from Bettendorf, Iowa's Precinct B42 (Ward 4) will cast their ballots in the main lobby of our headquarters. We're proud to host a polling place and grateful to everyone who takes the time to participate in the electoral process. 

voter / blood donor stickerResearch suggests there's a connection between blood donation and voting, two powerful acts of civic participation that reflect a willingness to contribute to something bigger than ourselves: the well-being of our community. While the ballot box helps shape our future, blood donation helps save lives today. Every donation can make a difference for patients facing cancer, injuries due to trauma, blood loss from surgery, and other medical challenges.

At ImpactLife, we believe strong communities are built by people who show up for one another. Whether you’re casting a ballot, donating blood or finding another way to give back, your participation matters. And if Election Day has you thinking about other ways to step up for your community, we hope you'll consider making an appointment to donate blood.
