Blood Drive in Richmond Beach This Saturday

The Puget Sound Blood Center will be in Richmond Beach Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. taking donations.

The Bloodmobile will be in front of the Shoreline Fire Safety Center at the intersection of Richmond Beach Road and 20th Ave NW. 

Last year Richmond Beach hosted a weekend-of-the-Fourth drive, and got a significant responese.

This year, the community’s goal is to register new donors, so bring a friend.

Giving blood is a great thing to do for your community and country. Most adults over 110 pounds and in good health are eligible; people as young as 16 can also donate, with parental permission. Students who began their giving this year at Shorewood, Shorecrest, or at Shoreline Community College are encouraged to come keep the habit up by donating this summer. 

Appointments can be made online at www.psbc.org or by calling 800-398-7888. Walk-ins are welcome and encouraged.
