On Saturday, May 30, there will be a blood drive in at Ballard First Lutheran Church. The drive will be put on by Bloodworks Northwest (formerly Puget Sound Blood Center) and will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed from 11-12 for lunch).
The organizers ask that donors set aside 45 minutes for the appointment, and to schedule a donation, contact Sylvia Vikingstad at sylviastad@comcast.net. Photo I.D. is required for donation. “Our hospital usage is up, and donations are down,” the organization writes in an email. “We really need your help!”
