Front desk receptionist was very rude. I came in to translate for my mother who wanted to do a good thing and donate blood. I was told I can't speak to her during the whole process which I understood. Then, a couple of minutes later, I heard her talking down about us to other employees because we "just couldn't understand the system for the love of God." Such a shame that staff like that contributes to the blood shortage. Also a shame that POC are still looked down upon in this day and age.

Make an appointment! Quick and easy. Takes an hour out of your day for wait times...paperwork before and 15 min wait for after. They give a drink and a snack. I had Chex mix 😍 donate blood today! National shortage...

Although I am terrified of needles, I love going to this location and donating blood. They all treat me like a queen. It feels good to know you are helping someone who really needs it.

Questions & Answers

My friend is having hip surgery next week and I want to donate blood on her behalf. How soon can I do this? Thank you.

Hi Pat, are you looking to donate directly to your friend for her surgery or looking to donate in her honor to replenish blood supply? Both are great options but donating directly requires blood type matching or universal blood type (O-/O+) and a special donation. But for the other option, anyone can donate "in honor" of someone to help keep blood supply available to all who need it.

If you join their All of Us research program you could get a 25$ Amazon gift card but don't expect any cash. SDBB relies on volunteers to donate blood.
