Collecting, testing and distributing life saving blood and blood components to patients in local area hospitals.

The American Red Cross is the only blood collection agency that offers health and safety training, serves as the vital emergency communication link between military personnel and their families at home, teaches disaster preparedness and responds to disasters of all types and sizes. The Pacific Northwest Blood services region of the Red Cross serves more than 80 hospitals in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. More than 155,000 Volunteers help about four million people give blood through the Red Cross each year, making it the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States.
