One More for the Summer To-Do List: Donate Blood

By Tom Petersen

The Bloodworks mobile unit will be in Richmond Beach on Saturday, August 29, ready for walk-ups and those with appointments from 10am until 4pm. It will be at its customary location, in front of the Shoreline Fire Safety Center, at the corner of Richmond Beach Road and 20th Ave NW.

There is currently a critical shortage of Type O blood, both positive and negative, but all blood types are welcome and encouraged to donate. (If you don’t know your type, Bloodworks will figure it out and let you know!)

Appointments can be made online. All donors must have photo ID when coming to the bloodmobile. The bloodmobile is air conditioned and radio equipped, so it is a very pleasant place on a summer day!
