Sioux City fire station flies flag encouraging organ donation
The Sioux City Fire Department is now flying a “Donate Life” flag at one of its stations.
Iowa Donor Network donation services coordinator John Jorgensen says it’s hoped the flag will inspire more people to become organ donors.
“This is the first one that we are aware of that’s ever happened at a fire station. It’s just a tremendous thing to do as we advocate together with Sioux City Fire to actually encourage people to say ‘yes’ and to donate life,” Jorgensen says.
