While there is no inherent risk of getting coronavirus when you donate blood, donors and staff are required to wear masks or reasonable cloth-based face coverings. Read our COVID-19 FAQs.

Welcome, Donor!

Blood donors and blood drive hosts continue to make a positive impact during the pandemic. All donations are tested for COVID-19 antibodies. If positive for the antibodies, those donations can help patients with COVID-19 as well as other patients with serious medical conditions.

Host a Blood Drive & Become a COVID Rescue Team Leader

Vitalant is looking for COVID Rescue Team Leaders to host a blood drive! All donations are currently being tested for COVID-19 antibodies. By hosting a blood drive you’re recruiting donors who may have antibodies to potentially help those battling the virus.

You can host a blood drive in one of two ways:

  1. Host a traditional blood drive at your business, place of worship or local organization and ask your contacts to donate.
  2. Host a virtual blood drive by asking your friends and family to donate at a local Vitalant donation center or local blood drive.

Simply fill out the form below, and we’ll connect you with an experienced donor recruitment representative who will guide you every step of the way to ensure your blood drive is a success.

Donate Blood or Platelets

All blood and platelet donations are currently being tested for COVID-19 antibodies. If your donation tests positive for the antibodies, Vitalant can produce convalescent plasma from that donation to benefit COVID-19 patients, and the remaining blood components will help other patients with serious medical conditions.

If your blood test is negative for COVID-19 antibodies, your blood and platelet donations are still very much needed for patients undergoing surgery, cancer therapy and other medical treatments.
