Give Blood
Schedule an Appointment  |  Platelets

The American Red Cross Pacific Northwest Regional Blood Services must collect at least 5,000 pints of blood each week to meet the needs of local patients. The organization is the sole supplier of blood and blood products to more than 80 hospitals in Oregon, Washington and southeast Alaska. To schedule a blood donation, call 1-800 GIVE LIFE. In the Portland Metro Area, call (503) 284-4040.

Eligible donors can give every 56 days. Blood is a cornerstone of medicine and critical to public health, but whole blood has a limited shelf life. The need for blood is constant.

Through the power of the Red Cross national system, blood can quickly be shipped from one area of the country to another - wherever it is needed most.

The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood regularly.
