To donate blood, you must be in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds and be over 16 years old. Teens under 16 can still donate, but they need a parent's permission. If you are 76 or over, you'll need a note from your doctor. Also, you cannot have had any tattoos in the last year.
Make sure to eat before you go to help stop you from getting light headed.
