Overcoming challenges brought on by winter storms, local blood banks are in greater need of your blood donations to keep up with the significant demand this time of year. This Friday, the Community Blood Drive is hosting a critical blood drive in Sturgeon Bay. Mike Domast from the Community Blood Center says all blood types are needed, but “O positive” and “O negative” blood need is urgent, even before Winter Storm Evelyn hit. He says giving blood has lifesaving ramifications throughout the community.
The Community Blood Drive will be held at the Door County Government Building on Nebraska Street from 9:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. About 20 spots remained open as of Wednesday morning. You can book your blood donation time by clicking this link or calling the Community Blood Center at (800) 280-4102. All blood donations gathered on Friday will remain local at the Door County Medical Center in Sturgeon Bay.
