Every two seconds, someone needs blood, a product that has no substitute and must be donated from volunteers just like you. No matter the donation you make, you will be saving the life of a neighbor in need. Learn more about how you can impact a life below:
Blood
Whole blood donations are the most common form of donation. In it, you will donate a pint of blood in a process that takes about an hour, in total. This donation can save up to three lives and can be repeated every 56 days.
Platelet Donation
Why donate platelets? Because they're a critical component in the blood clotting process and are used to treat cancer patients, burn victims, transplant recipients, and so many more in lifesaving need.
Plasma
Plasma is the liquid component of blood, which carries red blood cells and nutrients to the parts of the body that need it. Plasma is used to treat burn victims and those with trauma or clotting disorders.
Power Red Donation
A Power Red donation is similar to a whole blood donation, except a special machine is used to allow you to safely donate two units of red blood cells during one donation while returning your plasma and platelets to you.
