Richmond Beach Blood Drive goes indoors and goes early

By Tom Petersen

Attention, blood donors! This Saturday's event in Richmond Beach, May 11, 2019, will be inside the fire station at the corner of Richmond Beach Road and 20th, not in a bloodmobile.

This will be more comfortable and allow for greater numbers and faster service. The drive is also at a special, earlier time: it starts at 8:30am and is over at 2:30pm.

The hope is that the blood drive will fit better with everyone's Richmond Beach Celebration schedule.

It's festival day in the neighborhood, but blood donors will have plenty of time to catch the shows and have post-donation lunch in the Community Park, check out the Art Show, cruise the Richmond Beach Rehab car show, and tour the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden.

*Appointments are still available and welcome; Bloodworks Northwest expects to welcome a lot of walk-ups and is prepared to handle them. See you there!
