The American Red Cross will be collecting blood on a walk in basis or appointment. Appointments can be made by calling 497-1963 prior to the drive or by coming in person the day of and signing up for a time that fits your schedule.

How often can one give blood?
Regulations in the United States allow people to donate whole blood once every 56 days.

How do I know if I am eligible to donate blood?
You must be in good health, be at least 17 years old, and weigh at least 110 pounds.

What can I do if I am not eligible to donate?
While you may be unable to donate blood, there are other ways you can help. You can recruit other suitable donors or volunteer to help make donors' experience a positive one.
Please contact Student Activities at 487-1963 to volunteer.

How long does it take to donate blood?
The whole process takes about an hour. It starts with registration, a health history and a mini-physical. Then comes the actual donation, which usually takes less than 10-12 minutes. Afterward, you will be asked to spend a few minutes in the "canteen" where you can have a light refreshment before returning to your normal activities.
