Event Info
Blood Drive
When: Thursday, January 2nd, 2025, 12:00 PM Noon - 5:00 PM
Where: Leelanau County Government Center
The League of Women Voters of Leelanau County, Suttons Bay Community Church and Versiti will hold a Blood Drive on Thursday, January 2 from 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm in the Lower Level Community Meeting Room of the Leelanau County Government Center.
Consider donating double red cells. By donating double red cells, you're helping patients who need larger volumes of red blood cells, such as those undergoing heart surgery, trauma recovery, or cancer treatments. In fact, trauma patients may require up to 4-6 units of red blood cells to stabilize, while surgical patients often need 2-4 units. Your one double red donation provides two units of red blood cells, which could help multiple patients at once. And the best part? You only need to donate half as often, making your contribution both impactful and convenient!
How to Donate
Donating blood takes about an hour and has the potential to save up to three lives.
Anyone age 16 or older in good health who meets eligibility requirements is encouraged to give. Parental consent is required for donors age 16 to donate blood. Donors should bring a photo ID that includes their birth date.
To schedule an appointment to donate blood, click on the link above, call (866) 642-5663 or visit versiti.org/mi. Walk-in donors are also welcome.
