RHINELANDER - Not all blood donated in the Northwoods stays in the Northwoods. But the blood from the Hodag MASH Blood Drive in early July will go to community hospitals right here at home.
The event in Rhinelander encourages people to give blood that will help someone in the area. Pioneer Park transforms into an Army MASH unit for the day as a fun way to increase donations.
"You've heard of 'Buy Local.' We like to think we're the Give Local organization," said event organizer Jerry Shidell. "When I donate blood to the Community Blood Center, somebody that I know may need it. I may need it. I like that feeling."
