Middendorf’s Seafood Restaurant will host dueling blood drives at its two locations, Middendorf’s Manchac and Middendorf’s Slidell.

“Our Slidell Blood Drive back in July was such a big success that we decided to do it again but this time at both restaurants,” said Middendorf’s Owner Karen Pfeifer. “We love helping our community, and it’s a good time to donate before the busy holiday season.”

The Blood Drives will be held on Wednesday, November 18, 2020 from 11:00am-7:00pm.

Right now, The Blood Center says there is an urgent need for all blood types, and besides the big reason of saving lives, there are a few extra perks for donating:

  • Everyone who donates gets a FREE Thin Fried Catfish dinner.
  • Everyone who donates gets at FREE T-Shirt from The Blood Center (while supplies last).
  • The Blood Center is now testing all successful blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies.

Donors are urged to schedule an appointment due to social distancing and to ensure adequate supplies.
