Michigan Blood counts on the Northview district to bring in an impressive number of donors and potential life-time donors, like Karen Michewicz. Michewicz is an english teacher for the special needs students here at NHS. She has been donating blood for 30 years now, and has given almost ten gallons. When asked why she keeps donating, Michewicz said, “I have always told my kids, it’s a great gift to give at no cost, and I like to help people.” Donating through the blood drive is a great way to give a life-saving gift and get involved with the community.


Donating takes between an hour and an hour and a half. To donate you must weigh 120 pounds or more and your iron level must be above the minimum, which is based on your height, weight, age, and gender. When you donate, one pint of blood will be drawn which can save up to three lives. The next blood drive will be held in the middle of the winter.
