Kiwanis Community Blood Drive

Kiwanis Club of Issaquah is hosting a community blood drive, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. February 1 at the EF&R fire station at 175 Newport Way NW, Issaquah.  You will see the bus parked alongside the road, with easy ingress/egress and parking. 

Bloodworks Northwest will take walk ups or those who make an appointment.  Donors can reserve an appointment time by emailing to marjboy@comcast.net.   

Anyone who is in good health, is at least 18 years old (persons 16 or 17 years old may donate with a Blood Program permission slip signed by a parent or guardian), and weighs at least 114 pounds.  A healthy adult can donate every 56 days. 

 Please bring your photo ID and/or a Bloodworks NW donor card.  Be prepared to take a brief and confidential health screening survey when you arrive.

It takes about 7-10 minutes to fill a pint bag of blood, or even less if you have adequately hydrated the night before.  The health screening, donation, and 20 minute recovery makes this a 30 minute process.  (Not including wait time if there is a line).  During recovery you will be offered juice/water and a cracker.
 
Please consider donating blood to help meet the continuing needs of the region.
