According to Bloodworks Northwest, someone in the United States needs blood about every two seconds. A single blood donation can save up to three lives, and on October 17, residents will have a hyperlocal opportunity to participate in a lifesaving volunteer event.
Bloodworks Northwest will host a mobile blood drive at North Bend City Hall from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, October 17. The donation process takes about one hour. To book your appointment, visit bloodworksnw.org/giveblood.
For the best possible donation experience, Bloodworks Northwest shares some pro tips:
- Book your appointment ahead of time
- Bring your photo ID with you to your appointment
- Eat a healthy breakfast, lunch or salty snack before your appointment
- Drink plenty of fluids before your appointment
- Get a good night’s sleep before your appointment
