    Us saving lives, together!
    Emile T.

    Best donation center ever! Caring staff and volunteers. I have a pleasant and encouraging experience every single time I come here. Thanks Red Cross!

    I have so much history with this Red Cross Chapter. I used to be part of the Youth Services Chapter for 4 years during high school and was literally here 1-2 times a week. Not much has changed after my recent visit last month. It brought back memories! Ever since I graduated high school I would stop by for blood donations. I feel like their process has definitely improved. I haven't donated blood in probably 2-3 years and the whole registration is quick now! Especially now that they have the rapid pass system online now. Friendly and patient staff/volunteers. It's nothing extravagant, it's a non-profit and they give what they can in terms of a thank you for donating. But I do it for the need of blood and not because of the thank you gift. It used to be baskin robin ice cream pint for pint, but I believe it's amazon gift cards at the moment. If you ever have the chance and qualify, donate some blood. 1 pint saves 3 lives!

    Unfortunately, today was very disappointing visit and I will not be back to this location again. Came in to give blood with an appointment and it took 80 minutes, had to re-enter all my information although I had done it online while booking, my DL was scanned as I checked in and I had done the rapid QR code. The facility is outdated and the nurses do not seem to be happy working, didn't seem like they used consistent processes or even cared too much about the patient care given (I was pricked in a very weird spot, my partner they were digging in his veins and he was in a lot of pain) -- very low energy and they are slow and poor communication. All snacks are highly processed, wish they'd have an apple or banana / some citrus. I will continue to use Stanford instead and would recommend you do the same.

    Waiting for almost an hour now... :(

    Waiting time to donate seems to be getting worse and worse!!! My appt is at 11, i get here before then, it is 1147 and there is still 2 people in front of me!! Unacceptable!! An hour wait so far! This shouldn't be so inconvenient for us whom are trying to save lives!! It should be an in and out process!! I really hate to write this, but working people or/and parents should know this is very likely so they can work around their kids school schedule with time. I hope this changes soon so that it doesn't keep discouraging us to donate blood!

    Very well organized. I usually come to this location for my quarterly red blood donation. The Red Cross app is very well designed and lets you book an appointment. At the time of your appointment, you come over and usually there is plenty of parking. The front desk takes your temperature and does your checkin with either an ID or your donor card. Then one of the nurses takes you in for a quick checkup and to confirm your eligibility. This is where they confirm your rapid pass questions (a questionnaire that you fill out before you come over), your blood pressure and your hemoglobin count (finger prick test). Once all of that is done they take you over to the donation section. At the donation section you are seated on your donation chair/bed and the whole process takes about 15 min. Throughout they keep you company by asking you questions and engaging in small talk. They have taken a lot of precautions for covid and I see them wipe down every surface that a donor touches. After the donation, you are asked to wait for 15 min at a small snacks section. The whole donation from the point you arrive to out of the door is about 45 - 60 min. Will I keep donating at this location? Absolutely yes.

    Front door.

    About a year ago, I had the worst experience in over 20 years of donating. An over 70 min wait time. I left, didn't even donate. I've been back a few times since, and today I had a great experience here. a) quick, lickety split. In and out under an hour. b) a great phlebotomist. Quick, nice, but ... Biden says the pandemic is over, so why are way too many people still wearing facemasks? In my opinion. Facemasks are now optional here, and I didn't have one on, and neither did the person drawing my blood. *Thank you.* The sooner we get back to normal, all of us, the better!

    See all

    Ask the Community - American Red Cross

    Do they pay for blood/plasma?

    No they don't pay. It's strictly voluntary donations only. Sometimes they have incentives like a free T-shirt or $5.00 amazon gift card but that's the extent of it.
