You can donate blood at various locations depending on your region. In many places, there are permanent donor centers, mobile blood drives, and community- based temporary venues such as church halls, sports centers, or stadiums where blood donations are collected. For example, in Southeast Texas, there are many donor centers such as Gulf Coast Blood centers in Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, and others with specific schedules for donations. Mobile blood drives are also held frequently across communities.

In the Netherlands, Sanquin is the main organization managing blood donations with permanent centers and an online registration process to find a location near you. They handle blood, plasma, and platelet donations with a focus on donor health and safety.

In England, permanent city donor centers and temporary community-based venues are available. Appointments can be booked at main donor centers or local community venues.

In Belgium, the Red Cross manages blood donations with 15 donor centers and mobile collections; appointments are recommended. You can search for the nearest location in their donor portal.

To find a blood donation site near you:

  • Use local blood donation organization websites or portals.
  • Check for donor centers or mobile blood drives nearby.
