On January 11th, we will be hosting a blood drive outside of the Fremont store from 11-5 pm.
We are partnering with Bloodworks Northwest, an organization that donates 1,000 units of life-saving blood each day. Bloodworks supports 90 hospitals in the Northwest. Blood is needed every day to meet the needs of patients having surgery, organ transplants, receiving cancer treatment, or therapies for blood disorders.
Our goal is to have at least 36 people donate a pint of blood, which can save up to 108 lives. Everyone who donates can make a vital difference in people’s lives, who are struggling with blood-related diseases and conditions that can be fatal. Stop by the store between 11-5 (closed between 1-2). A donation takes about 45 minutes. Sign up for an appointment in advance or stop by at your convenience.
