Walla Walla blood and platelet drives in JUne

The American Red Cross has issued an urgent call for blood and platelet donors as the national supply faces a significant shortage. Scheduled donations have dropped sharply, and the need for all blood types is critical as we enter the summer months.

To support this effort, several blood drives are scheduled in Walla Walla throughout June:

June 8: 12 pm – 5 pm, The Marcus Whitman, 6 W Rose Street

June 9: 12 pm – 5 pm, First Congregational Church, 73 S Palouse St

June 19: 11 am – 4 pm, Walla Walla Fire District 4 Station 41, 2251 S Howard Street

June 23: 10 am – 3 pm, Providence St. Mary Medical Center, 401 W. Poplar

June 24: 11 am – 4 pm, Foundry Vineyards Walla Walla, 1111 Abadie Street

As an added incentive, those who donate between June 1 and June 28 will receive a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice and be entered for a chance to win one of two $7500 gift cards.

To schedule an appointment, please visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS, or use the Red Cross Blood Donor app.
