Join us and the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center for a community Blood Drive. The Blood Center works together with volunteer donors to provide a lifesaving resource to patients in need.

Blood donation is a safe, simple procedure that takes about 45 minutes to one hour. An identification card or Donor ID is required to donate. Potential donors must be in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be at least 17 years old. Potential donors may be 16 years old and donate, but must present a signed parental consent form for 16-year old donors (or click here for parental consent form in Spanish). For more detailed information on donor eligibility, please click here.

The Blood Center's web site also features information on the process of giving blood, automated donation procedures and other ways to help patients, such as registering for organ and tissue donation. To learn more about these topics, please visit bloodcenter.org.

Open to the general public. If you meet the criteria above, you can schedule an appointment by calling the Blood Center at 866-448-3253. You can also schedule an appointment online using Sponsor Code 10383.

Be sure to eat and hydrate well before donating.
