Our community supply of blood is running low, and donors – or those interested in becoming donors – are desperately needed to give now.  Our community needs you!

In summer, blood donations dip low with so many regular donors on vacation – and incidents of trauma increase.  It is vital that Bloodworks NW has a strong supply of blood in reserve, to provide life to accident victims and those fighting terminal illnesses.

Best part of donating blood is giving, but the juice and cookies are quite nice too!!

A blood drive will also take place at Google Fremont on July 24th and July 25th, from 10a – 4p, with advance registration available on-line (click here.)

If you are eligible, please consider giving now.  A donation of whole blood takes only about an hour, and it can save a life.

Also, please spread the word, to remind other donors of opportunities to restore our blood reserves.  It takes 800 donors a day to sustain the blood supply for patients in our community.  Please give!!
