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 & Wednesday, July 28 & 29, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: McGuire Middle School, 21220 Holyoke Ave, McGuire Middle School – Gym
Every donation can help patients in need—from accident victims and surgical patients to those battling cancer or chronic illness. Blood cannot be manufactured, and local hospitals rely on generous donors to maintain a stable supply.
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/.
Take an hour out of your day—help save up to three lives.
