Making these appointments is important because it helps us see where we stand in meeting our projected goal\, and helps our staff limit the donation wait times on the day of the blood drive. Much like a doctor’s office\, HCBB staff can only take on so many at a time. \nDonors are able to complete the donor questionnaire prior to showing up for their scheduled time\, but must complete it the day of their blood donation.  Click Here for the questionnaire link. \nSaving lives is in your blood!  \nYour one blood donation can save up to three lives. Every 2 seconds someone in the United States needs blood. Demand is high\, but you can help! Check-in with your photo ID\, and get a mini-physical to check eligibility\, such as iron levels\, blood pressure\, etc. Donation time is about \n8 – 10 minutes and enjoy some snacks and juice drinks while your body recovers. \nBasic requirements:  \n\nMust be at least 17 years old or 16 with parental consent\nWeigh at least 110 pounds\nBe in good health and feel healthy & well the day of your donation\n\nWays to prepare for your donation appointments: \n\nEat iron-rich foods. Common high-iron foods include red meat\, lean beef\, pork\, chicken\, and lamb. Plant sources like bread\, fruits\, vegetables\, grains\, and seeds are not easily absorbed by the body.\nEat foods high in Vitamin C to aid in the absorption of iron plant-based.\nMaintain adequate hydration in the week leading up to your blood donation\nEat a healthy meal prior to donation. Avoid fatty foods like processed meats\, fried foods\, and fast food. DO NOT donate on an empty stomach!\nDrink at least 32 ounces of water 2 hours prior to your blood donation.\nAvoid caffeine\, including soda\, tea\, and coffee. Caffeine is a mild diuretic and it causes your kidneys to flush extra sodium and sodium from the body.\nBe sure to bring a list of any medications you are taking.\nPlease be prepared to show a picture ID with your date of birth.
