Q&A about
Donating Blood:
Why is my blood needed?
+ The
American Red Cross collects over half the
nation’s blood supply and ensures the safest
possible blood is readily available whenever and
wherever needed.
+ The blood supply needs to be continually
replenished.
+ All blood types are needed to ensure the Red
Cross maintains an adequate blood supply.
+ Only 38% of Americans are eligible to donate
blood and out of those only 8% actually
do....That means only 3 out of every 100 that
are eligible actually give.
How do I know if I
can give?
+ Weigh at
least 110 pounds
+ Be at least 17 years old (16 with completed
Parental Consent Form)
+ New height and weight restrictions apply to
donors younger than 19.
What do I bring
with me at check-in?
A blood donor
card
or
A driver’s license
or
Two other forms of identification
What website shows
me when blood drives are, how to host a blood
drive, or just learn more about blood?
