Richmond Beach Blood Drive returns after four years - first date March 2, 2024

Richmond Beach Blood Drive Is Back! 

After exactly four years away because of the pandemic, the Bloodworks Northwest mobile unit returns to the Shoreline Fire Safety Center at the corner of Richmond Beach Road and 20th Ave NW.

The Richmond Beach Community Drive will be from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, March 2, 2024 and will resume regular visits on the first weekend of every other month. 

Please make an appointment at www.bloodworksnw.org or by calling 800-398-7888. 

Most healthy adults are good candidates for donating blood.

All potential donors are carefully screened for medications, travels and underlying health conditions that may result in a deferral to protect the blood supply. 

16 and 17 year olds may donate, with written permission from a parent or guardian. First time donors of all ages are needed; inviting and encouraging friends and family to donate together is the best way to expand the pool and have fun too. 

Donating blood takes only an hour. Blood donations help accident victims, people battling cancer and other pernicious diseases, people needing surgery, and scientists doing important medical research.

The Fire Safety Center is located at 1857 NW 195th St, Shoreline WA 98177
