LFP community responds to blood drive

In response to the great need for blood after the train derailment in Dupont, our communities staged three blood drives for Bloodworks Northwest.

In Lake Forest Park, they ended up registering 25 donors and collected 21 units of whole blood.

Bloodworks staff said that "Since each donation is separated in red cells, platelets, and plasma, the blood collected on Tuesday will help save the lives of up to 63 patients in our community. 

"To top things off, we had four first time donor. This is fantastic!"

The City of Lake Forest Park holds regular blood drives.
