| Making an appointment to donate blood is easy
- and it can earn you additional points too. In
fact you automatically earn 10 points every single
time you make an advance appointment using our convenient
online scheduling system. Just visit our regional
web site at DonateBloodNow.org
or go directly to the online scheduling
page, complete with an easy-to-use map and a
listing of every open-to-the-public blood drive
for the next 8 weeks. |
| Of course, you can always call us toll-free at
1-800-GIVE-LIFE
(1-800-448-3543),
and one of our Donor Satisfaction specialists
will be happy to assist you. Either way, you’ll
be able to find an opportunity to give the “Gift
of Life” at a time and a place that is
convenient for you. If you are
an Apheresis donor, please call 1-800-545-4086. |

Why make your appointment in
advance? Well, there are several reasons.
First, it helps insure that you can reserve
the time slot you prefer before it fills up.
Secondly, it helps us make sure that the drive
you are attending is staffed sufficiently
by giving us an idea of how many donors are
likely to participate. Finally - and perhaps
most importantly - making an advance appointment
automatically removes you from all phone or
mail recruitment lists until your appointment
date. |
|
| This is a tremendous benefit, yet many donors
don’t realize that this is the best way
to reduce or eliminate phone calls and unnecessary
mailings.It’s a win-win scenario, because
the Red Cross also saves time, money, and resources
when donors schedule their
next appointment on
their own. |
