North Bend City Hall is set to host a mobile blood drive on October 17, organized by Bloodworks Northwest in response to an ongoing blood shortage.

The mobile blood drive represents an opportunity for residents to engage in a meaningful way, directly impacting the lives of those in need. Additionally, the drive emphasizes the collaborative spirit of the community in addressing health crises.

Participants can contribute to a significant cause while enhancing their awareness of local health needs. With such a pressing demand for blood, the drive is not only a call to action but also a chance for residents to come together for a common purpose. Community involvement in blood donation drives like this one is crucial for maintaining adequate blood supplies and supporting local healthcare facilities.
