Bloodworks Northwest released its weekly bloody supply forecast and said on Monday that it is in need of 2,500 donations in the next seven days. FOX13
The blood bank said the summer is a time when more accidents and injuries happen and require life-saving blood transfusions.
Bloodworks Northwest is encouraging people to make appointments in July and August to ensure the blood shortage doesn't affect the care of local cancer, trauma, and surgery patients and maintain enough blood for emergencies. With the nation currently in a blood supply shortage, the forecast helps communicate the status of the blood supply and helps donors strategically schedule appointments for higher-need weeks.
Also, as a part of the supply's "Savor Life, Save a Life" campaign, they are giving everyone who donates blood through July 31 a $5 voucher good at more than 50. They are also offering anyone who donates through July a chance to enter to win one of three $3,000 gift cards. Same day appointments are available at most locations with immediate opportunities to donate including facilities in: Anacortes, Bellingham, Lynden, Everett, Lynnwood, Seattle, West Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Snoqualmie, Federal Way, Kent, Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Silverdale, Port Angeles, Olympia, Lacey, Vancouver, Longview, Ridgefield, Portland, Tigard, Eugene, Springfield.
