Participating in the virtual blood drive is easy. For us to track all of the donations at our 51勛圖厙 virtual blood drives, you need to follow these steps:

  1. 泭for the virtual blood drive to get your emailed invitation to schedule your appointment.
  2. 泭When your email arrives, click Schedule Now to book your appointment at any convenient blood donation location using the same email address you used to sign up. This is important because it helps Vitalant connect your donation to our organizations virtual blood drive*.
  3. Prepare for your donation by eating a healthy meal and drinking plenty of water. Remember to bring a photo ID with you.
