I have come here to donate blood a couple of times so far. The staff are very kind and caring. There’s always good, upbeat music playing and great snacks for after you’re done. Scheduling appointments on the Red Cross app is easy and convenient. They make it easy to donate.

I made a same day appointment but arrived pretty early. The ladies reluctantly checked me in only to take my information then say my blood pressure was too high to donate. This was a lie to get rid of me. I went to another blood drive location in East Lansing at the people’s church and they were so kind and caring. Guess what, my blood pressure was completely normal at the church and I was able to donate a half hour after my original appointment. The shame of all this is they lied about my blood pressure and if I was not a medical provider who keeps a close eye on my health they would have caused me undue stress all because they are understaffed and didn’t want me to donate at that time because I arrived early for my appointment. Very disappointing especially when blood donation is always needed. The staff at the 1729 East Saginaw street Lansing Location need to pause and think about how their unscrupulous actions can negatively impact the good people who voluntarily come to donate blood there. In the end I am thankful I was still able to donate whole blood today.

Everyone here is always very pleasant. I have tricky veins in my left arm, but several people have come up with ways to use both arms for platelet donations.

I’ve been here at least five times and every time the staff have been so friendly, accommodating and humble. This time was different and frustrating. I had to wait outside for ten to fifteen minutes because the doors were locked (no problem) but no one was there to open them. The suggestion to call didn’t work so I tried knocking. After 15 min I had gotten back in my car and finally called a third time to which someone answered, sounded annoyed, and told me someone would come out. After getting in, I overheard a staffer remark how I was 13 minutes late for my appointment when I had been trying to get in and in fact, was late because of them.

I really enjoy giving to my community. Because I’ve given before ARC now gives a pass via the website which makes check in much quicker. I was able to “skip” 2 steps, right to checking my iron level. Also they had run out of shirts downstairs but someone went to their storage upstairs and got me one for donating. The volunteers were really nice and had intriguing conversation as well. It was the best donating experience I’ve had in a while.

I scheduled an appointment online to donate at 2 PM. It is a 25 minute drive from home. I walked in the door at 3 minutes after 2 and the woman at the counter told me they were closed. The room was full of people. I asked kindly if she could fit me and and she rudely said no with a snide, “I’m sorry”

There is a great shortage of donations happening because of winter weather and illnesses keeping volunteers away. The staff is friendly and helpful. Please consider donating today. You never know when one of your loved ones may have a need of life saving blood products.

Horrible wait times, takes on average three hours and that is with an appmt and the rapid pass. The staff is friendly although they often seem to struggle getting my veins.

Everyone is talented so it’s a speedy process. Both times I’ve been there been one snooty chick. Other than that good site. Frequent drives.
