Join our local John L. Scott office and realtor Megan Shay in giving blood! You can burn around 650 calories by donating.
The Puget Sound Blood Center will be sending the Bloodmobile stocked with cookies and juice for donors. The Bloodmobile will be conveniently parked next to Tully's between Sunset Hwy SE and SE 27th, across from the John L. Scott office in Island Square.
Make an appointment here to get priority, or just walk on in!
More information on giving blood can be found on PSBC.org.
Why Give Blood? "Blood is needed every day. Donating blood takes less than an hour. It's easy to do, nearly painless, and you can give blood six times a year. Yet fewer than five percent of the people who are able to give blood actually do so—and most of them give only once a year."
Helpful Hints: Be sure you eat a balanced meal and drink plenty of juice or water at least four hours prior to giving blood. Get a good night’s sleep too! And wait to drink your coffee until AFTER you give, as caffeine can slow down the process.
