The American Red Cross, you may know them for their blood drives however they provide so much more…read morein services. Today I was at this office to attend multiple training's for the disaster services team. As a volunteer we can deploy when called to communities impacted by a variety of disasters. The recent Polar Vortex in WNY, shelters were opened and guess what, people are needed to provide assistance to those seeking shelters. The big hurricane or earthquake in another state or country, guess what volunteers from the Red Cross go down to provide assistance. That is people from your community giving their time to help those most in need. Other services the Red Cross provides include Sound the Alarm. This is a program where you can submit a request, no questions asked. (no income requirements, rental, homeowners, etc) Disaster Services volunteers and other trained volunteers will come to your home and install free smoke alarms into your home. These NEW alarms that follow the NYS guidelines (that change April 2019) have a 10 year lifespan and LED batteries that you are not required to change out every 6 months. Do you want to learn more how to be prepared for a natural disaster? How about a man-made disaster? Concerned on what actions to take with an active shooter? The Disaster Services volunteers offer a program, put together by NYS to teach you and your community how to prepare. Concerned about fire safety and your children? Disaster Services can come into your school or community center to teach the Pillowcase Program, a Disney sponsored, kid-friendly, kid-designed fire safety program and guess what, that isn't everything. You can CPR certification training, lifeguard training, babysitting and even a store so you can buy a fully stocked first act or other supplies you may need in the event of an emergency. So continue to give blood, there is always a need if that is your thing but also remember there are so many other ways you can help your community as well.

The first time the phlebotomist punctured straight through my vein and didn't notice causing a lot of blood to gather under the skin. Large hematoma as a result and couldn't give until the bruise was gone. Came back a few weeks later and the phlebotomist made a mistake setting up the machine causing my blood to remain in the machine instead of returning to me. So now I've been deferred for 8 weeks! Because of this I have lost out on about $1500 right before Christmas when I was really counting on it.

The least enjoyable part of the experience is all the phone calls you get before and after. I've been coming here for years, but finally back into a groove of donating platelets; I'm pretty content with the experience. RapidPass to skip some of the before stuff, lots of movie options, charting to help remember what your system is (two-arm, squeeze with left for me), blankets, Tums for calcium, and many snacks to choose from- what could be better?

Someone with a name tag that said "supervisor" was my phlebotomist. You would think that he would have been experienced. The pain I experienced, literally made me cry out!!! He did not seem to care at all. Half way through, I formed a hematoma so they had to stop!! It's been over a week now and I am completely bruised. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

They are very friendly and competent. Going back about 50 years I used to donate to the Red Cross. Red Cross does wonderful things for people in need but I found out that they were charging local hospitals an exorbitant amount for blood. That is why local hospitals approached Unyts which had been an organ donor organization to start collecting blood for them. So all the blood collected by Unyts goes to local hospitals. The Red cross sends much if not all of what they collect to other areas so they can get a good price for the blood.
