New York Blood Center: Donate blood

Donors save lives every day.

Donating blood is literally giving the gift of life. Each day, NYBC needs close to 2,000 people a day to roll up their sleeves to give the gift of life. There is simply no substitute for voluntarily donated blood. Without volunteer donors, our community would not have an adequate community blood supply.


	What to Expect It's best to be prepared before your donation and know what to expect during your donation.


	Who Can Give Blood The Most Common Reasons For Not Being Able To Give Blood


	Blood Facts The section should answer any basic questions and encourage regular donations.


	Who You Help Four million Americans each year benefit from life-saving transfusions. In fact, 1 of every 3 people will need a life-saving transfusion sometime during their lifetime.


		Learn About Our Advantage Program The Advantage Program recognizes your exceptional support as a frequent blood or platelet donor. You can redeem Advantage points for gifts or donate your points to selected charitable organizations.


	Types of Donations People can donate either a pint of blood or specific blood components. What we ask a donor to donate may vary based on a person's blood type, platelet count, their last donation, our inventory status, or patient needs.
