Donate Blood- Emergency Supplies Needed!

by anonymous
Red Cross & Blood Centers of the Pacific Call For Emergency Supplies To Send To NYC & DC
In response to the medical crisis faced by NYC and DC hospitals following today's events, Red Cross and Blood Centers of the Pacific are requesting blood donations to send eastward. Due to the overwhelming response expected over the next few days, blood collection centers are encouraging people to contribute next week, when supplies may begin to dwindle.

In San Francisco, contact 1-888-393-4483 (Blood Centers of the Pacific) for facility locations. A main center on Turk and Masonic Sts. will be open M-Th 11am-7pm, F-Sat 8-4.

In other parts of the Bay Area, contact the American Red Cross at 1-800-448-3453.

An additional local number for Blood Centers of the Pacific: (415)567-6400. Also, please note- the Red Cross requires that you schedule an appointment in advance to donate blood: 1-800-Give-Life (448-3453).
The correct Red Cross telephone number is 1-800-448-3543

Unfortunately, if you're a gay man, you can't donate blood, regardless of age and HIV status. Sorry, but this demonstrates the fact that we are still treated as second class citizens who are viewed as disease carriers.

Is it true that if you've spent more than 6 consecutive months in Europe in the past 20 years, you can't donate blood?
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
