additional information
By donating blood you are able to help local patients at hospitals across our region. The whole process for donating blood take about 60 minutes. Below are the steps for giving blood. At the Cresco Blood Drive you will also have additional tubes drawn for the Allergy Test.
The information given for the blood draw will remain with ImpactLife and used only for purposes of identifying the units of blood donated. After registration you will be given a Donor ID and you can create an account with ImpactLife.
