Why blood donation matters Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood, including surgical patients, accident victims, and those with medical conditions like cancer. Donating essential blood components—red cells, platelets, and plasma— is a simple yet profound act that impacts individuals and communities.

The entire process typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. Here’s what to expect.

Donating blood is safe and convenient — and most people qualify as blood donors, even if they are taking medications. Check your eligibility.

  • *Participating donor centers include Duluth, Coon Rapids, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Apple Valley, Richfield, and St. Paul.
  • To claim your signature salad or grain bowl, follow the instructions on the voucher received after presenting to donate. Restrictions apply.
