Gateway Blood Drives

  • September 2025
  • By Gateway

The Club at Gateway offers six Blood Drives through Lee Health each year – right in our parking lot. Donating blood is a cause that is very important to our members and team. Did you know that adults and children use approximately 800 units of blood each week?

When you donate blood through Lee Health, your donation stays in Lee County. It is safe and easy, and most people can donate every 56 days. Therefore, we invite the blood mobile out approximately every two months. The entire process takes about 45 minutes, including the mini-physical and simple medical history questionnaire, with the actual donation taking less than 15 minutes. Our next drive is scheduled for Saturday, September 20 and our last drive of the year will be on November 22. The blood mobile is stationed in our parking lot from 10 a.m. till 2:30 p.m. Please note that you do not have to be a member to donate. Please consider donating! To schedule your appointment, please call Angie at (239) 561-1036, option 5, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
