Lake Geneva, WI – Residents across Walworth County are being encouraged to roll up their sleeves this month as the City of Lake Geneva Police Department hosts a community blood drive from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Geneva Street.
According to Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, the holiday season often brings a dip in blood donations just as medical demand rises. “Holiday of Hope” drive aims to replenish the regional supply and support hospitals throughout Southern Wisconsin during one of the busiest times of the year.
The event is taking place at 626 Geneva Street inside the Lake Geneva Police Department. Appointments are preferred, but organizers emphasized that walk-ins are welcome throughout the afternoon. Donors can schedule a time by scanning the QR code provided by the department or by calling 877-232-4376.
Versiti notes that all blood types are needed, especially heading into late December when travel, winter illnesses, and holiday scheduling typically reduce turnout. Donors are reminded to eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated before giving blood.
Community members from Lake Geneva, Walworth County, and surrounding metro areas—including the greater Milwaukee–Chicago corridor—are encouraged to participate. A single donation, Versiti states, can help save multiple lives.
Residents who plan to attend can find additional details on the Lake Geneva Police Department’s social media page.
