in 2021...just put the Red Cross app on your phone and get it done folks, gave my first pint this year a few weeks ago...I am approaching eight gallons lifetime. I have "O" positive so they give it to Babies most of the time, the app will let you know where your donation ends up. They test your blood for a whole bunch of stuff and check your blood pressure to boot. It's a good deal for everyone.
