Donations have the power to change lives, offering hope, healing, and support to those in need. One of the most impactful ways to give back is by donating blood. Blood donations save lives every day, helping those in need of emergency care, cancer treatments, and other life-saving medical procedures.
Why Donating Blood Matters
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Unlike many medical resources, blood cannot be manufactured—it can only come from donors. A steady and reliable blood supply is essential to ensure hospitals and clinics can provide timely care to patients in critical need.
At Mahnomen Health, we recognize the vital role of blood donors in sustaining and saving lives. That’s why we encourage community members to step forward and participate in local blood drives. Your donation can make a real difference, providing strength and hope to those who need it most.

To make donating blood as accessible as possible, Mahnomen Health is partnering with Vitalant to host multiple blood drives throughout the year. Here are the upcoming opportunities to give:

Donating blood is a simple yet meaningful way to give back. Each donation takes less than an hour and can help multiple patients. If you are interested in donating, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to ensure an efficient donation process:
- Call Jane Kemper at 218-935-2511 to reserve a time slot.
- Visit the Vitalant website to schedule online.
Walk-ins are also welcome, but appointments help minimize wait times and keep the process running smoothly.
