Summer Blood Drive at WEC

Give the gift of life—donate blood. In just about an hour, you can help save up to three lives and make a lasting difference in your community. During the summer months, donations often drop as people travel and busy schedules shift, yet the need for blood never takes a vacation. Blood is always needed for surgeries, emergencies, and ongoing treatments, and there’s no substitute but generous donors like you. Roll up your sleeve, be someone’s hero, and help ensure that lifesaving blood is there when it’s needed most.

Whether you are a champion blood donor or have never given a pint of blood before, drop in on Westerly Education Center on Thursday, June 11, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and help save a life. Appointments are preferred and can be made at ribc.org/drives and using WEC’s sponsor code 3865.

Donors will need to bring an ID, such as a driver’s license. For eligibility information about donating blood, visit ribc.org. Westerly Education Center is located at 23 Friendship Street, Westerly.
