What Types of Donations Can I Give at Red Cross Blood Donation Centers?
All Red Cross Donation Centers offer whole blood donation, while most offer Power Red, Platelets and Plasma. Find your nearest blood donation center to learn more.
Every day, whole blood donations help save the lives of children and adults fighting to survive cancer, blood disorders, traumatic injuries and more.
Power Red is similar to a whole blood donation, except you’re providing twice the lifesaving power with two units of red blood cells during one donation.
Platelets are tiny cells that aid in stopping bleeding. For millions of Americans, they are essential to surviving and fighting cancer, chronic diseases, and traumatic injuries.
Plasma products are used by burn, trauma and cancer patients. Type AB plasma is the only universal type and can be given to patients of any blood type.
