With summer’s “one hundred deadliest days” hitting hard — from Memorial Day to Labor Day — hospitals in the Northwest are scrambling.

If you’re eligible, it’s a simple, life-saving act. Check Bloodworks Northwest, the Red Cross, or Vitalant to schedule your donation — your next act of kindness could be a lifesaver.
