Drain Your Vein: Community Blood Drive

Starve a vampire and donate blood. Let the experts drain your vein for a great cause. Most healthy people who are at least 17 years old and weight at least 110 pounds are eligible to donate blood every 56 days. Donating blood is a simple thing to do, but it can make a big difference in the lives of others. The donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes about 45 minutes. The donation itself only takes about 8-10 minutes. Click here to schedule an appointment online, or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Walk-ins are also welcome.
