Local Blood Drives
Thank
you for looking up our bloodmobile location schedule. The Red Cross must
have an adequate supply of blood available for area hospitals to help save
and sustain the lives of accident victims, cancer patients, and others. Type
O blood is particularly important because it can safely be transfused in an
emergency to patients with other blood types. Regardless of type, every
blood unit is important. Bring a friend.
You
may make an appointment to give blood at the regularly scheduled Tuesday
bloodmobile at the American Red Cross Donor Center, Glennland Building,
135 S. Pugh Street, in
State College by calling 1-800-448-3543 (1-800-GIVELIFE). Appointments are
strongly suggested although walk-ins are welcomed.
The drives
that that are marked "**2RBC**" have double blood cell collection
capabilities, with Type O and B donors in high demand to help build
chronically low blood supplies.
If
you need directions on how to get to any of the locations below, note the

Chapter blood services office at 814/237-2713. here

Making the Most of Your Gift
Tips for Blood Donors
Day of
Donation
Drink extra water and fluids before you donate to replace the volume of
blood you will donate and to prevent low blood pressure. You should
continue drinking extra fluids after donation, too. Coffee and tea don’t
count, because the caffeine causes your body to lose more fluid than the
drinks provide.
Eat foods
containing protein or complex carbohydrates, such as bread, cereal,
fruit or lean meat. You will feel more comfortable during and after
donating. Before you donate, a small meal or snack will do.
But avoid
eating fatty foods, such as hamburgers, French fries, ice cream or
cheese before donating.
As part of our vigorous safety screening, after you donate, your blood
will be tested for infections to make certain it is safe for
transfusion. Fatty materials –lipids – that appear in your blood for
several hours after eating fatty foods can affect these tests. When this
occurs, testing cannot be performed, and we may not be able to use your
blood.
On behalf
of the patients whose lives you will save, thank you for your interest
in donating blood to the American Red Cross. Your gift really does help
others to live.
