During both days, the Red Cross will be doing Blood and Power Red Donations:
Blood: The most common type of donation, during which approximately a pint of 'whole blood' is given. This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour.
Power Red: A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor. These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg, B Neg, or O blood.
To learn more about the different types of donations, you can visit here.
To set up a time to donate, you can call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2787) or visit RedCrossBlood.org.
