6 Tips for a Successful Blood Donation
Whether you're a first-time donor or a lifelong giver, the Red Cross offers these helpful tips:
Boost iron levels – Eat iron-rich foods leading up to your donation. Women can take Flintstones Chewable Vitamins starting one week before donating to increase iron levels.
Hydrate – Drink an extra 16 oz. of liquid before and after your donation.
Eat a healthy meal before donating.
Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can be raised above the elbow.
Complete a RapidPass on the day of donation before arriving to save time: [www.redcrossblood.org/RapidPass]RapidPass
Bring proper identification – A photo ID, blood donor card, or two forms of ID are required.
We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at the blood drive!
