American Red Cross Blood Donation Center

Great central location. The place is well managed and I love the ladies there. I'll admit it. Donating platelets is hard because you have to sit there and squeeze that ball with your fist for at least 2 hours. But I brought along a book on tape and listened to it with my headphones in, and that helped a lot. The best part is knowing that our donations will help somebody else. That far outweighs anything else about the experience. May God always bless the Red Cross.

The staff was friendly and Angie who is the one who took care of me is very outgoing and fun and made me feel relaxed.

I have been here twice to do a platelet donation. The first time they couldn't get a vain and sent me home not being able to donate. They also were complaining the whole time about how long the other donors were taking. And that they keep playing commercials saying there is a shortage and that they actually have too much. Then today I show up at my scheduled appointment and they tell me I can't give platelets but I can give whole blood. I gave whole blood 4 weeks ago so I couldn't donate. Twice I went to this place to give a selfless gift and was turned away. I dont understand why it's so difficult to give platelets here.

I get emails requesting me to donate blood and that there is acute shortage. But when I call Red Cross, I do not have any open appointments during weekends. Red Cross need to open extra donation drives during weekends when the supply runs low.
