Whole Blood Donation

Whole blood donation is what people typically think of when they picture donating blood. Once donated, whole blood can either be transfused or separated into components. As many as three lives are saved every time you donate whole blood!

Platelet Donation

Platelets prevent bleeding and cause blood to clot. They’re necessary for patients who experience bleeding during surgery or when receiving treatment for cancer. It takes up to 10 normal blood donations to match the platelets from one platelet donation. That’s what makes these donors so special.

Double Donation

Want to make double the impact? Consider making a double red cell donation. This type of donation is excellent for donors on a busy schedule. Double red cells can be given every 112 days instead of every 56 days.

Donor Stories

Marsh Regional Blood Center is proud to recognize the tremendous impact that our local donors have on our community. With every visit to a Marsh center or blood drive, our donors are saving countless lives. We’re gathering stories from across the region to show how even one donation can make all the difference.

A life-saving donation

Ashtun was only two years old when he was diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder. Today, thanks to the local donors who participate in our community blood drives, Ashtun is a seven-year-old daredevil who loves the outdoors.

The legacy of a giving volunteer

When Bruce learned the benefits of platelet donations for cancer patients, he became a dedicated platelet donor. In loving memory of his wife, Bruce continued to contribute for the rest of his life, leaving an inspirational legacy of saving lives for the entire community.
