The Door County YMCA will be having a blood drive the day after Christmas at its Sturgeon Bay location. Blood banks are always running low on supplies and you can help give the gift of life to a stranger in a manner that truly captures the spirit of the season. Annual Campaign Director Alyssa Dantoin says a friendly smile and helpful service goes a long way to warming people to the idea of blood donations.

Dantoin says there will be some snacks and beverages available to those who give blood. She also suggests having some Christmas leftovers before you come.
