Yes, for a first visit an appointment would be advised. Although for first time doners walk-ins are welcome. Following donations do requier an appointment by calling the center location or by using the BioLife App.
Yes always make an appointment they don't care how far you come from, lately it's all by appointment, speaking from experience I drive down from victorville/Hesperia area and didn't have an appointment and was turned away even though I'm a regular.
