How to Donate Blood to the American Red Cross

North America’s blood banks are running dry. Only 30 percent of Americans are eligible to donate blood—even worse, 5 percent of eligible donors find their way to a local blood drive in a given year. Millions of people pass up the opportunity to save lives because they’re too busy, afraid of needles, or because the closest drive is over 10 miles away from where they live. Whether you are a first-time donor or just haven’t given in a few years, it’s time to put aside your excuses. These easy steps will show you how to find a drive and make an appointment, how to prepare to give blood, and what to do when you’re done.
