Donation opportunities are available through Red Cross, Bloodworks Northwest, Vitalant, and Cascade Regional Blood Centers.
KIRO 7 News StaffThe Washington State Department of Health and the Northwest Blood Coalition are urging eligible residents to donate blood this January for National Blood Donor Month.
“Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood,” said Angel Montes, Donor Services Executive for Red Cross Northwest Region. “You can help patients in need by making a blood or platelet donation today.” The Department of Health said the state is at a critical level of need for blood donations, specifically from younger volunteers who are willing to commit to multiple donations a year. Most people who are in good health, are at least 18 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds can donate. Teens aged 16 and 17 can donate with signed permission forms.
