The donor’s legacy lives on when someone gets a second chance at life. LifeSource supports families through the organ, eye and tissue donation process and delivers life-saving transplants to the recipients who need them.
As a leading Organ Procurement Organization (OPOs) in the United States, we serve more than seven million people in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin.
The donation process has been described as symphony; it takes many people working in concert to make the complex process happen.
Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are the vital bridge between donors, their families and potential recipients.
At LifeSource, we have a clear purpose – to inspire the public to register and work with all of our partners to support donor families, manage the donation process, transport the gifts to the transplant center and lead our communities towards a culture of donation.

“This story is about moments. Moments that I will never forget. Moments that are defined by travelling seventy-five feet.” Chris George, shares the inspiring story of his son’s liver transplant.
We took some time to talk with a few of our team members who have selflessly served our country. How has their service influenced their role in the organ, eye and tissue donation community?
Thousands of men, women, and children in the United States are waiting for life-saving organ transplants. Together with our partners, donor families, and the community we work towards one goal – that no one dies waiting.
It takes one person to spark conversation about organ, eye and tissue donation and inspire others in their communities to register. Did you know all major faith communities support organ, eye and tissue donation?
Deciding to give the gift of life is a very personal decision, and one factor that might affect your decision is your faith.
