In our busy lives, it’s easy to overlook how a simple act can change lives. Donating blood is one of those powerful gestures. Mapletree Medical Clinic is excited to host a Blood Drive on Friday, October 24th, from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM at 30 N 18th Ave, Sturgeon Bay. This event is a wonderful chance for you to contribute to a vital cause that can save lives.
Whether you're a seasoned donor or thinking about donating for the first time, this Blood Drive is your opportunity to make a real difference. It's more than just giving blood; it’s about bringing our community together to support those in need. Help us spread the word and become a hero in someone’s story!
Why Donate Blood?
The need for blood donations is more pressing than ever, especially with hospitals frequently facing shortages. In fact, there is a constant need for approximately 12,000 blood donations each day across the United States. Your donation could help in emergencies, surgeries, or treatments for cancer patients.
When you donate, each pint of blood can potentially save up to three lives. Think about that: one small act can create a huge impact. Regular donors ensure that hospitals have a reliable supply on hand when it matters most.

What to Expect
Arriving at the Blood Drive, you will find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The donation process typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. This includes registration, the donation itself, and a short recovery time.
Before you give blood, we will ask you some simple health-related questions to ensure your safety and that of the recipients.
After donating, you can relax with some snacks and drinks. These refreshments help you recover and celebrate your generosity.
The Impact of Your Donation
You might wonder how your donation is used. Blood collected at events like this one is tested and processed for safety before reaching local hospitals. It can provide essential blood for accident victims, those needing surgical procedures, or patients facing chronic health issues like anemia that require blood transfusions.
Community Support Matters
This event is more than just about blood donation; it’s about coming together as a community. Blood drives unite people with a common goal of caring for one another. Being part of this initiative shows that we all have a role in supporting each other's well-being.
The relationships built during these events can encourage more compassion in our society. When you participate, you inspire others to consider donating as well.
How You Can Help
One of the most impactful ways to support this Blood Drive is by spreading the word. Share this event with your friends, family, and coworkers. Sometimes, a simple conversation can motivate someone to join our cause.
