The Mequon Police Department is asking everyone to “Be a Hero” by donating blood at the Department’s blood drive from 7 to 11 a.m. Friday Dec. 30.

The blood drive will be held in the lower level of the department, 11300 N. Buntrock Ave., and participants should use the Public Meeting entrance on Mequon Road.

Donors, who must be in good health and at least 17 years old, will receive a long-sleeved t-shirt and refreshments will be provided.

The department recommends making appointments — donors can sign up by going to www.bcw.edu/meqpd or by calling 877-232-4376 to register or have questions answered.
