Blood donation / North America

Find a place
to give blood.

Look for a blood-service centre or a mobile drive in your area. We can help find official starting points using your city and local code.

Blood, platelets and plasma are different donation options. Check what the selected service collects and let its screening team determine eligibility.

We’ll help you find a place.

Tell us your location. We’ll look for donation options and follow up by email.

Please don’t send medical information. This is a location request, not eligibility screening or an appointment.

A few helpful distinctions.

Are blood donation and paid plasma donation the same?

No. Different organisations collect different blood components for different purposes. Do not assume that a blood-donation appointment includes payment, or that a commercial plasma programme has the same process as a blood drive. Confirm with the chosen provider.

Can you tell me whether I’m eligible?

No. The collection provider’s screening team makes that decision. We help find location information; please discuss health questions directly with the provider or your clinician. Do not submit medical details through our form.

Is compensation guaranteed?

No. Payment, where offered, depends on the programme, centre, eligibility and completed qualifying donations. Introductory offers may cover several visits. Ask the centre for current written terms rather than treating a first-month promotion as a per-donation payment.

What happens after I send my details?

Your location request is stored privately and sent to Allastair Voss for review. We use your name and email to follow up with potential locations or a clarification question. An inquiry is not an appointment or a promise that a centre is available in your city.

Can I request help if my city isn’t listed?

Yes. Enter any North American city or town in the form. The city directory covers places with at least 50,000 recorded residents and national capitals in the GeoNames dataset; the request form also accepts smaller communities.
