Please donate blood in Richmond Beach Saturday

By Tom Petersen

The Bloodworks mobile unit will be at the Fire Safety Center in Richmond Beach this Saturday, January 12, 2019 from 10am to 4pm, 1847 NW 195th St, Shoreline, WA 98177

Though this neighborhood drive is now embarking on its 11th year, there are still some “10th Anniversary” goodies left to give away to donors!

Richmond Beach welcomed many first timers in 2018 and hopes to see them back. Experienced donors are always encouraged to inspire others to become blood donors. 

Healthy adults over 110 pounds (125 for first timers) and photo ID should find themselves eligible to give blood. All prospective donors are screened for safety, as there are restrictions regarding medications and some world travel.

Teens over age 16 may donate, with parental permission. Shorewood High School bestows one Volunteer Hour credit to student blood donors.
