Earlier this month, Huck Bouma proudly partnered with Versiti Blood Centers of Illinois to host a community blood drive—our latest effort in supporting critical healthcare needs across the region.

Each day, more than 2,400 blood donations are needed to maintain a safe and adequate supply for patients in hospitals and emergency settings. Despite nearly 40% of the population being eligible to donate, fewer than 5% actually do—making every single donation vitally important.

We are honored to continue supporting Versiti’s mission and to give back to our community in such a tangible and life-changing way. Events like this reflect Huck Bouma’s ongoing commitment to service, both in and outside the office.
