Giving Blood = Giving Hope

The gift of blood is the gift of life. You can save the lives of three people by donating blood Friday, Sept. 14, 2:15 to 5 p.m. at the Colfax Library

Call the Inland Northwest Blood Center at 800-423-0151 or make your appointment online at www.inbcsaves.org. Present to donate blood in September and be entered to win a $100 tattoo gift card!


Here are a few facts about donating blood...

  • Every 2 seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood product 
  • Although 60% of Americans are eligible to donate, only about 5% actually do 
  • One in three people will need blood sometime during their life

Walk-ins are on a first come, first serve basis. Photo ID is required. Donors should drink plenty of fluids and eat a meal at least two hours prior to arrival. The entire list of eligibility criteria can be found at www.inbcsaves.org
