Ferndale Community Blood Drive

Why Give Blood? The blood supply for our region depends on thousands of local individuals every week who make the decision to give blood and help keep folks safe when they need the gift of life-saving blood. Did you know… -A total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S. -Only 5% of the population donates. -Each day, nearly 800 people must donate with BloodworksNW to meet the local need. -The blood used in an emergency is already on the shelves before the event occurs. -Every 2 minutes, someone in western WA is receiving a transfusion. Bloodworks NW supports 90 hospitals in the Northwest. Blood is needed every day to meet the needs of patients having surgery, organ transplants, receiving cancer treatment, or therapies for blood disorders. We hope you will consider joining us at our upcoming blood drive. The drive is from 10 am to 4 pm, closed from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. Please be sure to eat & drink fluids prior to donation. Also, please bring photo ID!
