Here's your chance to give the gift of life. Merry Christmas! ~ Dan

During the 2012 holiday season, the American Red Cross asks everyone to support its mission by giving something meaningful. Community members can give hope to those in need by donating blood at the Green Bay holiday blood drives on Dec. 21 and 24. All presenting donors can enjoy special refreshments and will receive a complimentary t-shirt, while supplies last.
