American Red Cross Blood Drive

This blood drive is open to the public.

How to Donate Blood

Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information.

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are generally in good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

All presenting donors (ages 21 and older) in the Mid-America Blood
Services Division between May 16 and September 7, 2011 will have a chance to win a trip for four to Orlando, Florida each time they visit the Red Cross. Presenting donors of all ages are eligible to win other fun summer prizes during specific holiday timeframes.
