Northside Blood Drive on February 8 | The River Food Pantry

Door Creek Church will host a community blood drive on Madison’s Northside from 12:00–4:00 pm on Wednesday, February 8, at 1181 N. Sherman Ave, inside Door Creek Church Activity Center.

Sponsored once again by The River Food Pantry and Northside Planning Council, the public blood drive will support ImpactLife, provider of blood and blood components to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital and Stoughton Health.

“We continue to collaborate with our Northside partners to organize these blood drives to help save lives right here in our community,” said Rhonda Adams, Executive Director of The River. “Together we collected enough blood to impact up to 72 lives in 2022. With your help on February 8, we can make an even bigger impact this year. Please schedule your appointment today!”

In addition to saving lives, blood donors will receive from ImpactLife a voucher for a t-shirt or a gift card.
