It’s been a tough winter for blood centers nation-wide. Several regions experienced inclement weather, resulting in a large decrease in donations. Several blood types have been at alert, critical and emergency levels. All blood types are needed!

Whatcom Young Professionals is asking for your help – will you please sign up to give at our upcoming drive? You don’t have to be a WYPS member to donate! Everyone is welcome!
