healthy adults can donate blood every 8 weeks, platelets 24 times per year, and plasma once a month. Have you saved a life lately? donating blood only takes approx 30 minutes from start to finish. You can do it on your lunch break even

...So that's why when I give blood I only fill one bag instead of all of them. I give blood through UBS when at home in AZ, but through BloodSource when at school in CA.
