You can donate blood at several types of places, and most have simple location finders you can use with your ZIP or city.
Main donation options
- National blood organizations like the American Red Cross, Vitalant, and OneBlood run permanent donor centers and local blood drives; each website has a “find a drive/center near you” tool where you enter your ZIP code to see nearby appointments.
- Hospital-based or community blood centers list their own donor centers and mobile drives and often let you schedule online or by phone.
How to find a nearby site
- Use a nationwide locator such as America’s Blood Centers, AABB, or the U.S. HHS “Giving = Living” page, which all provide searchable maps of accredited or community blood centers by state or ZIP code.
- If you are in the United States, a quick way is to visit the American Red Cross “local blood drives & donation centers” page and enter your ZIP code to see centers and upcoming drives near you.
Next steps for you
- Go to one of these: redcrossblood.org, americasblood.org, or aabb.org and use the “find a location/center” search with your ZIP code.
- Before going, check eligibility and book an appointment, since many centers require or strongly recommend scheduling in advance.
If you share your city or ZIP code (no exact address needed), a more specific suggestion can be given for your area.
