Submitted by Blood Works Northwest

Bloodworks Northwest is asking for help. Due to the icy conditions, four high schools in Western Washington had to cancel their blood drives over the last week and a half due to school closures. These were some of the largest high schools and Bloodworks Northwest is dealing with a loss of over 400 blood donations that they expected to collect. This is a huge loss and will greatly impact the already-low community blood supply. They are asking for the assistance of community blood donors to help recover from this loss. If there is any way possible you can donate at this drive, it would be so very greatly appreciated.
