The top priority of the American Red Cross is safety – for our valued volunteers, employees, donors, blood program leaders and patients. As a reminder, the Red Cross only collects blood from individuals who are healthy and feeling well at the time of donation. Donating blood does not impact or weaken the immune system. At each blood drive and donation center, Red Cross employees follow thorough safety protocols including wearing gloves, routinely wiping down donor-touched areas, using sterile collection sets for every donation, and preparing the arm for donation with an aseptic scrub.To schedule a lifesaving appointment call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit RedCrossBlood.org
