Needed: Blood Donations


January is blood donor month, according to Puget Sound Blood Center, and the snowy weather two weeks ago caused a decrease in blood donations. Now that the month of love is upon us, you can use your heart to pump blood into collection centers to replenish the short supplies.

Icy roads during the snowstorm in January prevented regular donors from visiting the donation center and scheduled blood drives were cancelled. Now that the snow has thawed you may feel more comfortable driving to Puget Sound Blood Center located in Sunset Square to donate blood.

There will be a Barkley Community Blood Drive on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 2219 Rimland Dr. The blood-mobile will be parked there to collect blood from previously made appointments between 8 a.m and 11 a.m. To make an appointment you can click here.

If you have the time, blood is in short supply, so drop on by to help save some lives!
