It feels great to donate!
You get free juice and delicious Keebler® cookies.
It’s something you can spare – most people have blood to spare… yet, there is still not enough to go around.
You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed – most people don’t think they’ll ever need blood, but many do.
You will be someone’s hero – in fact, you could help save more than one life with just one donation.
To get ready for your donation:
It always helps us to know in advance when you are coming in to make a donation.
Hydrate
Be sure to drink plenty of fluids on the day of your donation.
Wear Something Comfortable
Wear clothing with sleeves that can easily be rolled up above the elbow.
Maintain a Healthy Level of Iron in Your Diet Before Donating
If possible, include iron-rich foods in your diet, especially in the weeks before your donation.
Bring a List of Medications You Are Taking
We will need to know about any prescription and/or over the counter medications that may be in your system.
Bring an ID
Please bring either your donor card, driver’s license or two other forms of identification.
Bring a Friend
Bring along a friend, so that you may both enjoy the benefits of giving blood.
Relax!
Blood donation is a simple and very safe procedure so there is nothing to worry about.
