Scheduled my appointment for 3pmafter being called multiple times about the URGENT NEED for platelets, left my house in Hampton at 2 and hit horrible traffic on the way. Tried to find a direct number to let them know I may be late, but none is available. Arrived at 3:02 only to be turned away because they close at 3. I have to get a sitter for my son everytime I come here, and I think it’s incredibly inconsiderate how quick they are to turn people away. Makes people not want to donate anymore..

First of all the staff here is amazing, well organized and professional. My problem or our problem is the fact that donors like myself have to bring our own blankets because the Red Cross only provides a limited amount per person. I have a major problem with that; I have been giving platelets and blood regularly since the 1990’s and this is the worst shortage of blankets ever. We are volunteers, we do this to save lives, if you cared for us maybe you would not lose as many donors as you are losing. Consider this…

My fiance and I were called because we are blood donors, and were called to give platelet donations because there is a critical need. We were scheduled for a 3pm donation but when we got there at 3, were told they were closed. Told them our appointment was at 3 and she told us to wait a moment. 5 minutes later she came out and said the doors were closed and we couldn’t donate. I echo the previous comments about how they schedule. If there is such a desperate need and we are both willing donors, why turn us away? Complete waste of time and makes me not want to donate at all. They might get more people donating if they did more about the scheduling issues.

The people there were extremely nice and made me feel comfortable. I did a walk in and I only had a small amount of time. But they had me in and out in under 40 minutes! The place was easy enough to find. I went in the front door and there was a sign on the wall that said they’re in 201 so I went to the second floor and there they were.

I came down from Williamsburg after work, far out of my way because a Red Cross employee called me the day before and told me platelets were “desperately needed” because of the recent government shutdown and shortages. I arrived at 2:12 and checked with the receptionist, with FastPass complete, and told her I was going to use the restroom—because I was told the process would be time-intensive. When I returned, I was informed that the cutoff for platelets was 2:05 pm and that I wasn’t eligible for whole-blood donation because I donated in December.

Great place to donate platelets. It does take a little over 2 hours, but they have TV and Netflix to help the time go by. Make sure to use the restroom prior to your donation, you might regret it if you don’t!!!
