The demand for blood remains at an all-time high for the Pacific Northwest and our supply needs to keep up. With a steep decline in donations, it’s a critical time to inspire and motivate our community to give blood. Please join us and amplify the important message of blood donations by giving at the Ballard Elks Lodge this October 6, 7, 15 or 16. Those who are in good health and are at least 16 years of age can participate. For more information about eligibility, please visit www.bloodworksnw.org/eligibility.

Face mask and appointments required. No walk-ins. To find a location to donate blood, visit https://schedule.bloodworksnw.org or call 800-398-7888
