YOU'RE OUR TYPE!

No matter what your blood type is, chances are you’re a great match for people in need.

YOU'RE IN DEMAND!  Blood donation is always needed — not just when there’s a major emergency. Patients in our community in need of lifesaving transfusions and blood therapies are counting on you to help keep our local blood banks well stocked with all types of blood.

First, make your appointment online.

NOTE: We’re taking extra precautions to ensure the health of our donors and staff by requiring masks, and following COVID-19 health and safety guidelines at our donation facilities.

When you arrive for your appointment, you’ll sign in and Community Blood Center staff will ask you a few health questions. Then you’ll have a few basic physical screening checks done including:
• Blood Pressure
• Pulse
• Temperature
This is all to ensure you’re healthy enough to donate and just takes a few minutes.
When your screening shows you meet donation requirements you’ll head to the donor room to meet the phlebotomist who will draw your blood.

Then, for the next ten minutes or so, you just get to relax and know you’re making a big difference for someone in our community.
(And yes. You do get a snack after.)

It’s ok if you’re nervous

“My father fought leukemia for 3 months, and during that time needed at least 24 transfusions to stay alive. He took me to my first blood drive when I was 19, and I have been a regular donor for years, but after he got sick I have tried to give every 8 weeks.”

Donating blood is simple. What's more, when you do it you get to find out some things about yourself you might not already know like your blood type, and whether you’re a universal donor.
