Give Blood in Rochester, MN and You Could Score a New Snowblower

If you were hoping for a Minnesota winter where we have actual snow, it seems like the 2025/2026 season is making that promise come true. We've even had some record-breaking days thanks to some epic snowfalls in the area in early December.

As soon as those Winter Storm Warnings get sent out through our app as an alert to keep you safe, everyone starts to wonder how much snow will actually fall. And when those totals get to test our back muscles, 75% of people in the Midwest are thankful for one specific item in their garage - a snowblower.

Are you needing a new snowblower or an upgrade from that shovel? One organization in Rochester, Minnesota, has an easy way for you to score a brand new one - see how to win it below.

Easy Way To Score A New Snowblower in Rochester This January

Every 2 seconds in the United States, someone needs blood and/or platelets.

...and my family knows this statistic well. Every Wednesday night, my husband gets an infusion of blood products. A few years ago, we learned that his body quit making antibodies. Now, the only way he can fight off infections today is because people step up and give blood products. If that is you...thank you! If you haven't ever given blood, you might want to try it out in January, because you could be the lucky one scoring a new snowblower.
