Blood Donation Services

You have the ability to give the gift of life to someone who really needs it. Only through the donations of concerned people like you can we guarantee that there will be a safe and adequate supply of blood to meet the urgent needs of patients in emergency room and hospitals.

Donors, we encourage you to investigate if you are eligible to donate blood before you attend a blood drive. To investigate this you can go on the following American Red Cross web page and read eligibility issues at www.redcrossdonor.org or call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE

Generally, you are eligible to donate blood if :

Are in good health (no flu symptoms or taking antibiotic medication for infection)
Have not donated less than 56 days ago (you can donate every 56 days or 6 times a year)
