You can help the local blood bank and the Door County Medical Center keep up with the critical blood supply needed this time of year by donating blood this Friday. The Community Blood Center is holding a Winterfest Blood Drive at the Northern Door County YMCA in Fish Creek. Tina Ferron from the Community Blood Center says the challenges of collecting blood are more difficult this time of year, but blood donations can make the difference between life and death for many.
The Community Blood Drive hours will be from noon until 4:30 p.m. Friday, with walk-ins welcomed. You can schedule your blood donation in advance with this link.
The American Red Cross is also holding a blood drive on Friday at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. You can schedule your blood donation online at Redcross.org.
