Oceanside CA— Starbucks Coffee, 4176 Oceanside Blvd, in the parking lot, will host a mobile blood drive in partnership with the San Diego Blood Bank on Monday, September 2, 2019 from 12:00 pm ‑ 5:00 pm. First 10 donors will receive a free tall coffee (good day of drive only), courtesy of Starbucks!

About 1 in 7 people entering a hospital need blood. One pint of blood, which is the amount volunteers give when they donate blood, can save up to three lives. Approximately, 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood but less than 10% do annually. Since blood is always needed, volunteers are asked to give blood for patients, such as those going through cancer or trauma.

Donors must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• 17 and older (Age 16 requires a parental consent)
• 114 pounds and in good health

It is recommended that donors consume an adequate meal and plenty of fluids prior to giving. A photo identification must be presented upon signing up to donate.

Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment for their convenience but walk-ins are also welcome. To schedule an appointment, please call 1-800-4MY-SDBB (1-800-469-7322) or visit www.SanDiegoBloodBank.org.
