Lakeville Citywide Blood DriveGive the Gift of Life: Community Blood Drive April 7

A simple act can make a life-saving difference. The community is invited to roll up their sleeves and donate at the upcoming Community Blood Drive in partnership with Memorial Blood Centers. With a continued need for blood donations across Minnesota, your participation is more important than ever.

Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Location: John Hennen Pavilion at Antlers Park

Whether you are a first-time donor or a regular supporter, this is an easy and meaningful way to give back to your community. The process is safe, quick, and can truly save lives.

Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome as space allows. To learn more or schedule your donation, visit Memorial Blood Centers at https://www.mbc.org/.
