Memorial Blood Centers invites all eligible blood donors to roll up their sleeve and give blood at one of three Cook County location sin March.
Every 2 seconds someone needs blood–from heart transplant and cancer patients to accident victims. The need for blood is constant, but the supply is not. Only volunteer blood donors can make a life-saving difference to someone in need.
Patients in local hospitals depend on Memorial Blood Centers to be there with the right blood type they need to survive. All types are needed—especially O negative (O-) and O positive (O+).
Step up to give blood at a blood drive in your neighborhood and help save lives. Donating blood is convenient and safe when you are healthy and well.
While walk-in donors are always welcome, we encourage appointments to be made in advance. To register for a blood drive, go online to www.MBC.org or contact the sponsoring organization directly.
The first blood drive will be March 2 at Zoar Lutheran Church (next to Mike’s Holiday) from 2:30 – 6 p.m. To sign up, call Carla at (218) 663-0179.
Another blood drive will be March 3 at the Cook County Senior Center, sponsored by St. John’s Catholic Church, 10 North Broadway in Grand Marais from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. To schedule an appointment to donate blood on that date, contact Kay Sivets at (218) 387- 2262.
And finally on March 4, Memorial Blood Center will be at Cook County High School, 101 West 5th Street, in Grand Marais from 8:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. To donate, contact Pam at (218) 387- 2273 ext. 604.
