Lainey, The Red Cross has many 'Blood Donor' locations around Philly and a website to find them.....any day of the week....often in churches/ synagogues/ colleges, etc.
There is probably a web site that lists sites/ hours/ etc...aren't you near Boston? NO more excuses

Every now and again there are local blood drives, but usually during my working hours. Some companies give folks 1/2 day off if they want to donate blood..........not here.
I'll keep my eyes open.
My granddaughter is probably old enough to sit still and I could bring her along with me some Saturday.

......For me it is a way to celebrate my good health and do something positive that money alone can not buy. I have given gallons (never really kept track) over the years. I was, and I am back on the eight week cycle.....
For me, it was only 58 days between visits this time! I've been giving about twice per year for the past 35 years....a lot of Blood

*how many other people donate on a regular basis? I do. My donation in December was my 40th.
*what's your reaction to the whole process? It's easy and barely hurts.
*how long have you done it? For about 30 years. I don't know when I started but I used to ride my bike to the Red Cross to give blood. I was 17 or 18.
BTW, my daughter, Christa, who will be 18 on February 6th, has given twice, too. Her High School has been arranging drives this year.
