Give Blood

To find the most convenient blood donation facility to schedule an appointment to donate blood, please call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.

A Simple Process

Donating blood takes a little more than an hour and includes registration, a brief medical history, and having your pulse, temperature, blood pressure, and hemoglobin checked. The actual donation only takes about 10minutes and is relatively painless. To see what it feels like, pinch your arm just above the elbow.

What It Takes

To be an eligible donor, you must be 17 years or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in general good health.
