Between today and January 5th, the Puget Sound Blood Center asks that healthy adults consider participating in the ‘Give Red Holiday Campaign’ with blood or platelet donations.
You can play a role in giving the gift of life. Use the new Online Appointment System to schedule a time to give.
Remember, this year both Christmas and New Year’s Day take place on Wednesday – the biggest collection day for the Puget Sound Blood Center – which will severely cut into donor levels. Additionally, the days before and after these holidays are traditionally lightly attended. This can create a reduction in capacity by almost 20%, but usage by patients at area hospitals will remain the same. Over 20,000 people are needed for donations.
Please, make the commitment now to give a blood or platelet donation in the five weeks between today and January 5th. If you need to learn about donating, visit the Puget Sound Blood Center website for more information.
