Blood Drive 2023
Our vision in 2020 was to have a local blood drive, where neighbors could donate blood with the convience of having the donation center within five minutes of home. However, mobile blood drives were on hold the past few years due to the pandemic. Janet Macher stayed in touch with #BloodworksNW, was finally able to put a date on the calendar.
Echo Lake Community Group
is hosting another BLOOD DRIVE!
SAVE the DATE: Oct 29th 11am-5:00pm
The Bloodworks Northwest bloodmobile
will join in the holiday festivities in the parking lot
at the Echo Lake Community Church on 10/29/2023
February 10, 2023 was the first blood drive in Echo Lake Community. 30 people checked in to donate blood and 7 were first-time-donors. This exceeded expectations for the community and Bloodworks Northwest. ELCG THANKS those that participated in the February Blood Drive. Based on lots of feedback, a second blood drive has now been scheduled in Echo Lake Community.

"So grateful you have booked this again! It’s incredibly difficult to get to one of the “normal” Bloodworks NW locations with our busy lives and bringing it to Echo makes it doable!"
