To find out what you need to know before donating, and this is really good to read if you've never donated blood before - read this page.
If you are eligible to donate, please do. Only 38% of Americans are eligible to give blood, and of those, only about 8% donates.
Does it hurt to give blood? It's never bothered me. The most pain I get from it is the band-aid pulling my skin on my arm when it's all over. I think it's also important to know that you don't just jump up and get in your car and drive. Take your time to eat the snacks they provide until you feel energized again. That usually takes about 10-15 minutes after the donation.
