Colfax Library Hosts INBC Blood Drives

Every day people like you need blood: family, friends, and students. Help give the gift of life at the Colfax Library on January 25, March 25, May 23, July 23, September 24, and November 19 anytime from 2:30-5:30pm. A mobile collection unit from the Inland Northwest Blood Center (INBC) will be on hand to screen applicants and accept donations of blood.

When blood is needed, blood must be available. It cannot be manufactured; generous volunteer donors like you are the only source. Appointments are being taken by calling the library at 509-397-4366 or online at www.inbcsaves.org. Priority will be given to those with pre-scheduled appointments. Walk-ins will be seen on a first come, first serve basis with photo I.D. required. Donors should drink plenty of fluids and eat a meal at least two hours prior to arrival. You must be 18 years old or have an INBC permission form signed

by a parent or guardian. The entire list of eligibility criteria can be found by contacting INBC at www.inbc2.org or call toll-free at 800-423-0151. Visit the Whitman County Library online calendar at www.whitco.lib.wa.us for a complete listing of programs and events.
