What We Are All About

The Aberdeen Area Gift of Life transplant support group was formed in 1997 with a charter group of five members and has grown ever since. We would like to thank all who have donated organs to those in need. Our group realizes the hardship of making the decision to donate, and we are here to thank you.Aberdeen Area Gift of Life gives support to its members and support to the community by sharing our experiences with others. To share our Gift of Life we have become a presence in our community. We participate in community service projects, raise awareness for the importance of organ donation, and lend emotional support to those that organ donation has affected. If you would like to get involved, check out our calendar of events or contact any of our officers.

We appreciate all of those that have helped us during our time of need.A special shout out goes to our donors, without them we wouldn't be here today, so THANK YOU!

Helping the Salvation Army

On Saturday some of our group members came together to help stuff bags for the Salvation Army to pass out to local nursing homes. We do this twice a year and is always a lot of fun!

We ♥ Our Members!

We met for our February meeting earlier this month. Not a lot to report, but we do need volunteers to help stuff the bags for the Salvation Army. I am also putting together a Kidney Walk team if anyone is interested. The walk is on June 11 at Sertoma Park, Sioux Falls. Let me know if you would like to join our cause!
