Come all you red-blooded Americans and roll up your sleeves this holiday weekend!
The Puget Sound Blood Center will be in Richmond Beach Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm taking donations. The Bloodmobile will be in front of the Shoreline Fire Safety Center at the intersection of Richmond Beach Road and 20th Ave NW.
Last year Richmond Beach hosted a weekend-of-the-Fourth drive, almost on a dare, and the response was terrific. The PSBC is delighted to be back! This year, the community’s goal is to register new donors, so seeing some new faces would be a great way to celebrate. Bring a friend!
Giving blood is a great thing to do for your community and country. Most adults over 110 pounds and in good health are eligible; people as young as 16 can also donate, with parental permission. Students who began their giving this year at Shorewood, Shorecrest, or at Shoreline Community College are encouraged to come keep the habit up by donating this summer.
Appointments can be made online or by calling 800-398-7888. Walk-ins are welcome and encouraged.
