Where Can I Donate Blood?

Where can I donate blood?

You can donate blood at your local blood bank like the American Red Cross or other blood collection centers.  Google blood bank donor centers in your area to find the nearest one.

Also, be on the lookout for blood drives hosted by local companies and hospitals.  Many times there will be banners and flyers on street corners announcing such events. 

Most of the blood centers bring T-shirts, gift cards and snacks as incentive for people to give blood.  Feel good about helping someone but also enjoy the small perks of being a blood donor.

  2. Many blood donation organizations are also a great resource for information. They typically have a F.A.Q. section that takes some of the fear out of blood donation, as well as answers questions pertaining to eligibility. I recommend googling your city, Sacramento for example and blood bank/blood drive/blood donation to find out the location nearest to you.

  3. Another great place to look for blood donation is mobile drives. Contact your local blood donation centers or blood banks to find out about upcoming events.
