Identification is required to donate blood.
Why are we doing this?
To ensure that our donors are properly identified in Red Cross records, are not
currently disqualified from donating, and can be reached for follow up if needed.
What is acceptable identification?
The preferred identifier is a government-issued photo ID
such as a driver's license or a Red Cross blood donor card.
For the safety of your children and the blood supply,
children may not accompany parents in the collection areas. Also, young children may not be
left unattended in the waiting area. We will be happy to re-schedule your appointment.
Thank you for your cooperation!
