Upcoming Red Cross Blood Drives In Beaverton Area

BEAVERTON, OR — The Red Cross urged people to donate blood as wildfires and record-breaking heat drive donations down. A projected busy hurricane season will likely shrink donations even further.

All types of blood donations are needed, but there is an especially large demand for Type O.

The plea for donations comes at a time when the country is experiencing high demand for blood transfusions. Hospitals are treating a high number of traumatic injuries this summer. Organ transplants and elective surgeries also increased the urgent need for blood products.

People who donate blood during August will receive a free four-month subscription to Apple Music (new subscribers only).

Here are the Red Cross blood drives coming up in the Beaverton area in the next few weeks. You can search for additional Red Cross blood drives from a wider area here.
