How does donating blood work?

You can save three lives in just one hour when you give blood. Our trained professionals will be with you throughout the short process. And it’s simple — the actual collection typically takes about five to eight minutes.

Here’s more information about the process, including basic requirements (things like tattoos, piercings and international travel don’t necessarily exclude you!) and tips for pre-donation, during donation and post-donation.

Where to donate

Choose from one of five Oahu donation sites, plan your next Neighbor Island donation or find a blood drive near you. Dates and times are subject to change.
