We love our blood donors more than we could ever say. Right now, we’re facing an emergency blood shortage. If you’re ready to roll up a sleeve, schedule an appointment to give through the link in our bio! 

Donating blood is easy, and this is what to know if you’re a first-time donor:
- You must weigh at least 110 lbs. 
- You must be at least 16 years old in most states.
- Hydrating before will make sure your donation goes smoothly.
- We recommend eating an iron-rich meal the night before.
