Blood drive set for August 4 on Main Street, Cathlamet

The American Red Cross Blood Services urges all eligible donors to schedule an appointment to donate blood at the River of Life Assembly of God Church, 45 Main St., Cathlamet on Tuesday, August 4 from 1-6 p.m., by calling Patti Phillips at (360) 795-8821 or schedule online at http://www.redcrossblood.org Code: Wahkiakum.

Any healthy person age 18 (or 16-17 with signed parental consent) or older and weighing at least 110 pounds may be eligible to donate blood. Valid identification is required for all blood donations.

With only a few short weeks before the start of the school season, the Red Cross urges all current and eligible new donors to help combat the region’s shortage by donating blood.

“We are very excited to announce that Sharon’s Pizza is generously giving a free fountain drink to everyone who comes in to donate,” said Patti Phillips, Red Cross spokesperson. “Call today, or go online, to schedule your appointment. Remember to drop by Sharon’s Pizza for a delicious sub or yummy pizza and thank them for supporting our local Cathlamet blood drive.”
