A significant number of potential donors have been unable to give blood this winter because of widespread cases of flu and other seasonal illness. If you must miss an appointment to donate please reschedule when able. Community Blood Center specifically encourages eligible donors to help with the need for type O positive and type O negative whole blood donations and type A/B platelet and plasma donations.
Donors are required to provide a photo ID that includes their full name. Past donors are also asked to bring their Community Blood Center donor ID card. Donors must be at least 16 years of age, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in good physical health.
