It is important that we maintain an ample blood supply in our community, and that can only be done with Blood Center of Wisconsin, as they supply 100% of the blood to every community hospital in our area. The blood you donate will save lives right here in your community.
Patients are counting on receiving this blood to help them survive or heal. Let's all participate and make each blood drive a success for all of us. If you haven't signed up yet, please consider doing so. You'll be doing more good than you know.
**We want to offer a special "thank you" to the following local businesses who donate food for our Blood Drives : - Dairy Queen - Richland Center for donating Dilly Bars.
