Our Blood Supply Is Running on Empty
A low blood supply is like driving on an empty tank: you don’t want to run out of something that important. You can help fill the need. Pump up the community by donating blood this summer with Bloodworks Northwest. Ensure our local hospitals have the blood they need to save lives.

Emergency Need for Donors
Local patients urgently need blood, and donations aren’t keeping up. If you’re healthy, especially if you’re Type O or a platelet donor, now’s the time to step up. Schedule your donation today and create a donor portal account to be notified when drives are added near you.
Watch How Easy it is to Donate Blood
