Tips for ensuring a safe donation:

• Make and keep your appointment. This helps to manage overcrowding and reduce wait times.
• If you are not feeling healthy and well, please do not give blood.
• In addition to the current social distancing guidelines provided by FDA and the CDC  we will also observe any social distancing guidelines established by our host partners:
  • Donors and staff will be wearing masks .
  • Please remain at least six feet from other donors.
• Drink plenty of water before and after donating to ensure you are well hydrated and eat a good, healthy meal at least two hours before your donation.
• Don’t forget your picture ID.
• Before you arrive on the day of your appointment, fill out your donor questionnaire on your own mobile device/desktop with QuickScreen. This also helps manage overcrowding.
• Please do not bring children and/or pets to blood drives or donor centers, as they are not allowed into the donation area.
