Upcoming Shoreline & nearby Blood Drives

By Tom Petersen

The Bloodworks Northwest crews are busy collecting donations to make up for the depleted supplies at the end of summer. They will be in Shoreline and adjacent cities this week and throughout September a dozen times, in addition to the daily operations at the Lynnwood and Stone Way (northern Seattle) centers. 

Opportunities abound for regular donors to return and bring friends to help locals in need! Appointments are encouraged but walk-ups are welcome. Go to www.bloodworksnw.org or call 1-800-398-7888.
