Donating Blood is Easier Than Ever

Try the Canadian Blood Services App

When was the last time you donated blood? If it's been a while, or maybe if you never have, there are some changes you should know about. Canadian Blood Services is trying to make donating easier with a few new things:

• Wi-fi in clinics
• New mobile app to make booking appointments more convenient (for Android or iPhone)
• Mobile-friendly website
• New eligibility quiz online to help understand if you can donate

All this is in addition to the friendly staff & volunteers at Canadian Blood Services Clinics, cookies & snacks, juice & tea that go along with donating. I know the rest of your 2014 calendar is probably looking pretty packed, so make an appointment for January. Add donating blood a few times a year to your list of resolutions.

If you aren't eligible to donate for transfusions, you can still help by donating blood for research, donating money, or volunteering.
