Memorial Blood Centers Blood Drive

Amid the ongoing challenges of recruiting blood donors during the COVID-19 pandemic, Memorial Blood Centers is facing a shortage of blood and platelet donations.

Donating blood is safe for people who are in good health, free of antibiotics for 24 hours (unless taken daily for skin condition), symptom-free for at least three days following a cold or a flu, and age 17 or older (16 with written parental consent).

Walk-in donors are welcome, but appointments are encouraged to help maintain physical distancing. Donors are required to wear a face mask or face covering. To register for a blood drive, schedule online or contact the sponsoring organization directly.
