First time? Here's the drill.

Don't know your blood type? Donate to find out — everyone is welcome.

Before

Eat a solid meal with iron-rich foods, drink extra water starting the day before, and get a good night's sleep. Skip the gym on donation day so your energy goes to the good cause.

Bring

A photo ID. Wear a shirt with sleeves that roll up easily, and bring your favorite playlist or a friend — first-timers are welcome to have company.

During

Giving the blood itself is quick, though power red and other donation types take a bit longer than a standard donation. Check-in, a health screen and intake come first, so plan for the full visit — then relax and let the team take care of you.

After

Enjoy the snacks and drinks on hand, keep hydrating for the rest of the day, and skip heavy lifting or strenuous activity. You'll be back to your normal routine in no time — and feeling great about it.

Eligibility is confirmed by the blood center on site.
