Start March with a blood donation

Shoreline, WALocal News

The Bloodworks mobile unit will be stationed in Richmond Beach on March 1, 2025, from 9 AM to 3 PM, specifically at the Shoreline Fire Safety Center. This visit underlines the crucial and ongoing need for blood donations across the nation, particularly accentuated by recent disasters that disrupt regular blood drives. Donating blood is a quick process, typically taking an hour or less and allowing most healthy adults to participate. All donors must present a photo ID and undergo a safety screening that considers recent travel and medications. Additionally, 16 and 17-year-olds who meet the weight requirement can donate with written parental consent, making this a valuable family engagement opportunity.

The event emphasizes community involvement in addressing blood shortages during crises, showcasing how local efforts can fill significant gaps in the blood supply. By participating, residents not only contribute to a vital cause but also strengthen community bonds. The initiative encourages a culture of giving and support, vital during challenging times.
