How To Donate Blood

Who can donate blood?

The law states that you must be 17 years of age and weigh at least 110 lbs.
You can't have a cold, sore throat, flu, or active allergy symptoms.

Is it safe?

For the safety of the donor and those who receive blood, the donor's medical history is taken to assure that all risks of disease transmission are assessed.  A nurse checks the donor's blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and iron level.

How long does it take?

The whole process takes a little more than an hour.  Appointments will speed up the process.

How does my blood donation help others?

The blood you donate is used in local hospitals.  Your donation can save the life of a loved one or someone in your community.
