I was pleasantly surprised to find a Goodwill Donation Center close to my house. I typically have…read moretaken my donations to the Jax Beach location. I called ahead to ask if I needed to take my donations around back. I was advised there was parking in the front. When I arrived there were two designated donation parking spots. I took one of the spots as I had five large bags to donate. I got out of my car and snapped a picture for Yelp. By the time I check in and added my photo the front door to the donation center was propped open. A young man came out and assisted me with carry my bags inside. He then asked if I wanted a receipt and I advised yes please. He pushed a button on a machine on the wall and handed me a receipt with instructions for setting up a Goodwill account and completing an itemized receipt. Pretty smooth transaction. I'll drop off more donations at this location in the future.

Before dropping off donations I called ahead to confirm they took donations. The description says…read moreblood and plasma donations so it's a little off putting. Somebody answered and said "this is a donation center for donations." Ha! Parked in one of the two designated parking spots for donations. I thought that was convenient, not that people in Florida abide by such signs or rules. I grabbed a bag of donations and walked in to find an empty desk. I placed the bag down and peeked in the back. A lady was on the phone and held up a finger to me like "one moment." I went and got the rest of the donations and put them down on the floor. I donate without wanting a receipt so I left. That lady is probably still on the phone to this day.

So as many people get nervous going to the doctor I get both nervous and paranoid. My bp spikes and only a feeling of comfort relaxes me to the point of my bp returning to normal. Add donating blood and boom I have an instant 4 alarm fire going on. This is a special thanks to Ms. K. Smith for taking the the to talk me through the process, being patient with me as my first bp was slightly over the qualifying pressure and supplying me with all the free goodies that I received for doing such a simple act of kindness. The Big Red Bus was not only cool, cozy, and clean but a great source of service to be able to get out to areas that many people can walk or take public transportation to, adding a free fandango ticket and free appetizer is a great added bonus. See you in a few weeks for another donation! Kudos to this service and saving lives!!

We gave the clerk a prescription for his blood draw that would allow him to donate every 4-weeks. We were told their location doesn't do those and he would need to make an appointment at a location across town. That was frustrating and it would have been nice to know ahead of time. I went ahead and began completing the questionnaire and the tech got me started. The staff offered me a drink and snack and made sure to keep checking on me while we waited for the blood donation to be complete. As always you get a thank you gift for donating. This time we took home a nice canvas tote bag and a stainless steel water bottle, both with the One Blood logo

She was able to find a vein in my arm very quickly and get a needle in with little more than an "ouch." The actual blood donation took about 10 minutes for me (basic whole blood donation), it took longer to do the computer work to sign me up. The whole experience was pleasant. Check out the website to make an appointment online and to see the basic qualifications. I highly encourage you to donate, if you can.

DONATE BLOOD! SAVE LIVES!…read more I've donated blood a few times and it feels good to donate knowing that you're saving other people's lives. It doesn't take long to donate blood. It takes less than thirty minutes between blood pressure and heart rate check, answer health questionnaire, and blood donation. Donating plasma takes longer so it's one and done for me. I'll stick with whole blood donation going forward :) Last time I donated, I received a $10 gift card from Red Lobster, $10 e-gift card, and a tie die shirt. I've received gift cards from Walmart, Publix, and Red Robin depending on where the One Blood Mobile Bus is setup. Sometimes, they provide water and snacks too. Can't beat that!

Tis the season of showing love and O positive is a perfect gift. This is my first time as a whole blood donor and it was pleasant. It didn't physically hurt. There was slight discomfort but I believe most of the pain is Apprehension and Anxiety. Get rid of those A-holes, and it's all good. Staff professional and friendly. I forgot her name but she answered all my questions and then some. Gave me one of all the stickers she had for my girl, packed me an extra Coke, tucked a long sleeved tshirt into my bag and cheerfully said "I'll see you next month! You get a blanket in January." I'm a total sucker for a good blanket. Even better though, I'm a sucker for a good cause. Share your power, it won't cost you a single dime. What you give is invaluable and that philanthropic feeling you get from giving? Priceless.

This blood donation center is my go-to spot! I donate here exclusively because the staff--Special…read moreshout out to Jameika, Tegan, and Sydney (amongst other staff I have yet to know better)--are absolutely wonderful. They're hardworking, professional, and genuinely care about their donors. I'm a hard stick, but they always get me on the first try, which is a big deal. I've donated so much that we've basically become friends! The center itself is clean and well-maintained, making the whole process comfortable. They have three beds for donations, so while they do allow walk-ins, making an appointment is preferred, especially if you want to do targeted therapy donations. They offer plasma and whole blood donations, but no double red blood cells, so keep that in mind when scheduling. After donating, they have a great selection of snacks to help you refuel, which is always appreciated. If you're thinking of donating, this is the place to do it. The team here makes all the difference, and I highly recommend it for a smooth and stress-free experience!

After a few moments our instructor led us to the classroom . On the way there he kindly showed us where the restroom, water fountain, coffee machine were at . The building itself seems a bit outdated, but nothing that effected the quality of our course. The instructor was easy to follow and gave clear instructions . I felt like I was heard and gained what I needed to in this course. Overall, I would highly recommend this American Red Cross location .
