We will be holding a blood drive at station 57 from 11am to 4pm. Stop by to donate!
Many potential blood donors believe that they can’t donate blood due to medical or other reasons. But whether you’ve heard or read information about donation restrictions or been turned down in the past, please do not self defer. You may be able to say “Yes I can!” and share your power through blood donation.

Donating Blood is as crucial today as it has ever been. OneBlood’s #1 priority is Donor Safety, we have changed some of our protocols to ensure that our donors and staff are safe.
OneBlood Donation Safety Protocols
• OneBlood is regulated by the FDA and required to follow strict operational guidelines.
• Our facilities and Big Red Buses are clean and meet all FDA safety standards.
• At every blood drive and donor center OneBlood team members follow safety protocols, including:
• Wearing medical gloves for blood collections.
• Wiping down donor-touched areas and equipment after every collection with disinfectant. This includes, donor beds, registration tablets, blood-pressure cuff, hemoglobin sensors, etc.
• Masks are worn by all OneBlood Staff and must be worn by donors as well. If they do not have one, we can provide on for them.
• Donors’ hands are sanitized when they enter the bus and their temperature is taken immediately.
• Only 4 donors are allowed on the bus at a time.
• Only two of the beds can be used at a time
• Using sterile collection sets for every donation.
• Conducting donor mini-physicals, including temperature check to ensure donors are healthy and well on the day of donation.
• Only people who are healthy are eligible to donate blood.
• As an additional safety measure, OneBlood is asking people who have traveled to countries at high risk for the coronavirus to self-defer from donating blood for 28 days upon returning to the United States.
• Team members who are sick or not feeling well do not report to work.
• If donors need to wait to get on the bus due to new protocols, they can wait outside the bus or staff can call them when they are next up.
