Blood Drives

Convenient options for donating blood

In addition to a Blood Center, Baylor Scott & White also has several options available for a more convenient way for members of outlying communities and businesses to donate blood. We currently have 3 mobile collection buses, as well as capabilities to set up our collection equipment right inside your facility. Our mobile crews are scheduled throughout each week and travel around Central Texas — including communities surrounding Killeen, Waco, College Station, Round Rock and Marble Falls

To ensure a safe donation experience and in an abundance of caution, social distancing protocols remain in place, and we ask that all donors assist by:

Scheduling donation appointments here (Please note, walk-in donors without an appointment will only be allowed entry as space permits; appointments are strongly urged)
Wearing a mask to your appointment
Observing established social distancing protocol
Not bringing guests or children to your appointment

Thank you for your donation during this unprecedented time.

Determine Interest

You should have at least 15-20 interested donors before you schedule the blood drive. Ask around to see how many people will want and be eligible to donate at your drive.

Schedule a Date

Call the Blood Center at 877.724.HERO (4376) or submit on online request. Have one or two dates in mind that will accommodate the majority of your prospective donors. We will help you determine the length and time of your drive based on the number of interested donors.

Our mobile collection units provide the same privacy and comfort as our Blood Center. Our recruitment team will determine which collection unit – mobile collection bus or onsite set-up – best suits your needs.

Advertise

We will send you flyers to post to let the community know we are coming. Contact local businesses and a radio station or newspaper to spread the word even farther.

Sign Up Donors

We will send you a list with time slots for committed donors to sign up. While we welcome unexpected walk-ins, the sign-up list helps us best prepare for your drive in several ways:

Spreads out donors to keep wait time to a minimum
Helps us to appropriately staff and stock supplies
Allows us to extend your drive if more donors than expected sign up

Set Up

Select a person to be available on site when the bloodmobile arrives the day of the drive. Have six level parking spaces located near the parking lot or building from which donors will be arriving.
