Every day, volunteer blood and platelet donors are needed to help those in need of lifesaving transfusions, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, newborn babies, and patients receiving treatment for cancer, or sickle cell disease.
As the American Red Cross continues to experience an urgent need for blood donors, members of the community are encouraged to give now at the new Blood and Platelet Donation Centers in Noblesville.
As a thank-you to donors, anyone who donates blood or platelets at new Red Cross Blood and Platelet Donation Centers will receive a $20 Kroger Gift Card while supplies last. This card can be used toward groceries or gas.
To schedule an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org and under “Find a Blood Drive” enter 46202 for Indianapolis or 46062 for Noblesville. You can also call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App.

How to donate blood & platelets
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
