The very talented RIBC donation coordinators determine eligibility at the start of any donation appointment, so even if you are not entirely sure you are eligible, they can always determine for you at the Blood Drive!

Blood Donation Facts:

- Every two seconds, someone needs blood. (and that someone could be a perfect match to your blood)
- There is no substitute for blood. Blood components cannot be synthetically made and can only come from volunteer donors.
- Blood is more than just Red Blood Cells! Produced in the bone marrow, blood is typically collected as “whole blood” and then separated into its unique components: platelets, red cells, and plasma. Each can deliver a lifesaving benefit to someone in need.
