||| FROM HANNAH MCNUTT for BLOODWORKS NORTHWEST |||
When the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to consider donating blood. With the holiday season fast approaching, hospitals need blood for patients more than ever.
Donating blood is a quick and easy way to make an immediate difference in someone’s life. Doctors and emergency responders need our community blood donations to help those in need, whether it’s a trauma patient, cancer patient, or premature baby.
By taking one hour to donate blood, you can help ensure there is enough blood supply available for them. We urge you to make an appointment and give! With your help, someone’s second chance could come this season.
