Blood Drive will be held on Wednesday, November 25th in Guttenberg

The Thanksgiving season gives us a moment to pause and  appreciate the people, moments and experiences that make life meaningful. But, gratitude doesn’t  have to stop at saying “thank you.” It can inspire us to give back. 

Giving back can be as simple as taking an hour to roll up your sleeve and making a blood donation.  Every two seconds, someone’s life relies on a blood transfusion. Those in need include cancer  patients, burn victims, surgery recipients, and countless others. The only way to ensure these  patients get the care they need is through volunteer blood donation. It takes less than an hour and helps strengthen the local blood supply, so patients have access to the care they need, when they  need it.  

As we head into the holiday season, turn your gratitude into action. Give thanks. Give blood. Give  life. 

• Guttenberg Municipal Hospital on Nov 25, 2026 from 12:00 pm to 4:30pm at Guttenberg  Municipal Hospital, 200 Main Street
