The blood donation center will be located just outside of Bridge Hall of the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and will be open from Sunday, May 25, through Tuesday, May 27.

To give blood during the annual conference blood drive, donors must wait at least 56 days before donating. Please do not give blood after March 30. Donors also must

Women who wish to donate are encouraged to eat iron rich foods 24 hours prior to participating in the blood drive and to refrain from drinking coffee that morning. Some recommended foods are shellfish, fortified cereals, enriched pasta and breads, soy milk, beans and lentils, and avocados.

Help save a life. Donate blood at the PRC annual drive.
