Save a life with Bloodworks🩸 and local chefs! | Local Lens Seattle

We are in the midst of a national blood shortage! 🩸
I wanted to do my part which is why I am so excited to partner with Bloodworks NW for this latest video. Bloodworks is working with local chefs, restaurants, wineries, breweries and more to educate and inspire people to donate blood.

The big push goes through the end of June with the campaign, ‘Savor Life. Save a Life.’ It’s a community initiative with the goal of recruiting 10,000 donors to support patients who rely on blood transfusions for cancer treatment, surgeries and more.

I met with several chefs who are partnering in this effort including Chef Traci from Atrium in Pike Place Market. I got to meet with her and try out an amazing cooking class and food tour. It was awesome seeing the shops where the Chef goes herself and grabbing fresh produce steps away from the Atrium.

Then I met with the CEO and founder of Intentionalist, Laura Clise, at one of her favorite spots in Little Saigon- Mi La Cay. This restaurant features Vietnamese fare. We sat down together and discussed Intentionalist - an online guide that makes it easy to find local businesses and get to know the people behind them. It helps you make a difference by spending money in support of the diverse small businesses that shape our communities. Clise spoke about why she wanted to be involved in this campaign as well.

My last stop took me to Fremont’s Neighborhood to visit- Meesha 127 and meet Chef Preeti Agarwal. Agarwal is an Indian chef born and raised in Uttar Pradesh. Meesha focuses on modern Indian cuisine with exciting flavors and ingredients. I would describe it as comfort food and I had so much fun making some dishes with the chef.

You can visit Meesha at 127 N 36th Street Seattle, WA 98103 or here https://www.meeshaforyou.com/

So if you are willing and able take the time to sign up and donate yourself. Bloodworks wants people to know the nation’s blood supply remains at one of its lowest levels in recent years.
