Lake Geneva, WI – Residents are encouraged to give back this holiday season by donating blood at a special community blood drive hosted by the City of Lake Geneva Police Department today, Friday, during the afternoon hours.
According to Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, the blood drive will run from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Lake Geneva Police Department, located at 626 Geneva Street in Lake Geneva. While appointments are preferred to help manage donor flow, walk-ins are welcome throughout the event.
The drive is part of Versiti’s seasonal “Holiday of Hope” campaign, aimed at addressing blood supply shortages that often occur during the winter months when donations typically decline. Officials say holiday travel, illness, and weather disruptions can significantly impact available blood inventory, even as hospital demand remains steady.
Blood donations are critical for trauma patients, surgeries, cancer treatments, and emergency care across southeastern Wisconsin and the greater region. A single donation can help save up to three lives.
Donors are advised to eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before arriving. Those wishing to schedule an appointment can scan the QR code on the event flyer or call 877-232-4376.
Community members are encouraged to participate and help ensure local hospitals have the blood supplies they need throughout the holiday season.
