We Are Blood opening new donor center in Cedar Park on June 22

AUSTIN, Texas - We Are Blood (WRB) will open its doors to a new donor center in Cedar Park on Wednesday, June 22.

The new location, located at 251 North Bell Boulevard, will house seven donor stations and feature hand-painted murals by Austin artist Avery Orendorf. 

"For years, the generous communities in and around Cedar Park, Leander, and Liberty Hill have hosted blood drives and donated blood with We Are Blood to protect local patients," said Marian Garrard, CEO of We Are Blood. "As the need for blood transfusions increases in Central Texas, our new Cedar Park donor center will help meet that need, while making blood donation even more accessible and convenient for friends and neighbors."

Donor appointments can be made now for appointments beginning June 23 at Cedar Park donor center via https://weareblood.org/donor/ or by calling (512) 206-1266.
