Donating blood with a purpose. Helping those in need of blood transfusion. Today I hope my blood goes to the North Las Vegas Police Officer who is in critical condition at the hospital in need of blood. Thank you for your services sir. I wish you and pray for a prompt recovery. Thank you LVMPD Traffic Bureau for hosting this blood donation drive at your site. ARC staff were great, friendly, professional and fast. There were a few walk ins who were turn down. It's sad when the need of blood is critical. ARC should work on that. Nobody should be turn down regardless of appointments or not. read more

I try to give blood every 3 months. This was my best experience so far (at the location on Warm Springs Road) The lady was soooo nice. (sorry I didn't get her name) I always get a little nervous, but she made me so comfortable. They got me in and out in no time and of course I enjoyed some cookies afterwards. Give this lady a raise. She is awesome! read more

American Red Cross - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Ever since my Mom needed multiple blood transfusions while undergoing cancer treatment, I promised myself I would pay it forward. Since April 2021, I've been committed to being an ongoing blood donor (every 56 days or so). It also became a good way for me to 'give back' to our community. I was here to donate in April 2021 and everyone working was nice, welcoming, and friendly. They took extra precautions to ensure I felt safe and looked after while donating. Although I donate closer to my house (Red Cross visits the Centennial Hills Library) on a regular basis, one can easily sign up for a donation through the app and complete their rapid pass to expedite the process once you become a regular donor. Across the country, they are still experiencing a pretty severe blood shortage. Per the Red Cross website, the low blood supply levels "have forced some hospitals to defer patients from major surgery, including organ transplants." Since blood can't be made or manufactured, patients literally depend on blood donors for their lives. Thus, I think it's important for those to know more about the blood donation process. Blood is essential to help a variety patients survive surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. In fact, one blood donation could help up to THREE patients! That's a huge impact! If you've considered donating, now more than ever is a great time to do it. It's a phenomenal way to give back without having to pull from personal financial sources. Hot Tips: You must wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations of whole blood. You want to drink A LOT of water the day you donate. A good portion of the blood donated is made up of water, so be sure to drink water before and after donating. Visit the Red Cross website to learn about more tips and information on your own personal eligibility to donate. read more

American Red Cross - Donation complete - September 2021 - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The North Las Vegas American Red Cross organizers are RUDE & UNSANITARY. Dirty tables they want you to put arm on, then they type things on their laptop with same gloves, then TOUCH YOUR VEIN to stick needle into your arm ALL WITHOUT CHANGING GLOVES!! Obese Caucasian woman using medical equipment to withdraw blood from your vein is R-U-D-E & will literally pick fights with you and will interrupt you when you're speaking with other ARC employees to harass you/ask you questions (like she did me) just so she can micromanage YOUR life! They speak to donors like they are mentally challenged. I will NEVER step foot in another ARC! Too bad incompetent employees ruin everything for others! Peace read more

411 for CPR- AED - First Aid classes for Red Cross Las Vegas location. Those with busy schedules and visual learners will benefit taking the online plus classroom training. Sign up and pay for the course online. It's $90. Make sure you can make it!! If you cancel you lose that $90 or it costs more to reschedule....something screwy like that, The online course requires you have high speed internet and the latest pc to view the course. I have the latest Surface Pro PC and high speed internet thru cable company and still had just a couple moments where parts of the video kept buffering, Took about total 3 hours to complete in between my busy schedule. Scheduling one that's right for you is easy. Go online here: http://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/cpr I like they have classes held on Sundays, more convenient for me. Dont forget bring to print copy of your online certificate saying you took and passed the online course! Skills part is held in classroom setting at the Flamingo location. Take elevator to second floor, I believe it's Suite 206 you'll be looking for. If you are going for recert it's 45 minutes covering CPR and AED. First time, it's one hour covering AED,CPR and First Aid Class size is small total of 10. Our instructor didn't waste time, started on time and ended a few minutes past scheduled time. It was people taking the class who were late and so that meant we ended a few minutes past, since we had to review what they missed. So please be on time for class. The classroom, sectioned in 3 parts. CPR first, AED next, and first aid last. In each section you'll watch a video, then instructor will go over the how-to and you and your partner will practice. End of class, they'll let you know if you passed. You get your certificate emailed to you. From recent experience, I highly stress it's so important that you can recognize if someone is in need of medical attention, and know CPR/ first aid. You never know if you will be that person that can help save a life. Also keep updated too. There were some minor changes this time around. I liked taking the course thru here vs third party. Pretty organized, convenient, plus Red Cross is well known and most widely recognized organization. read more

Give the gift of life, especially when there's a shortage. The blood suckers (literally) at the American Red Cross here are friendly and fast. Not that you want someone to rush through the process of taking blood from your body, but that was my experience here last week. After having been notified by e-mail a couple of times that supplies were low due to the holidays when people are too busy to donate, I made an appointment at this location on-line. I came in last Friday at 2:00pm and was immediately shown to a desk for intake with Leslie. She did all the things you do when you donate whole blood: take my temperature, check my blood pressure,and poke my finger to check my iron levels. After I passed those initial tests, I answered all the questions you need to about your medical history. This part was done on Leslie's lap top by me while she waited; it's actually faster this way so no one has to read the questions to me. You can read the questions at your pace and answer them as quickly or slowly as needed. In no time, I was on a bed giving blood. At the time I was there, there were only two others donating, too, so the whole visit lasted about 40 minutes, including the 10-15 minutes I sat having trail mix and water after donating. I even got a free Red Cross t-shirt for my time. I would highly recommend this location for a blood donation if you have the time to give a bit of yourself (literally) to those who need you. read more

I was actually involved in two major disasters and the Red Cross came to help with both of them I have zero complaints they did the best that they could they opened up a shoat especially for the 82 families that had to have somewhere to live at 3 a.m. in the morning then the next fire they gave us hotels hotels they made sure we had food and water and blankets I'm now putting Red Cross on the end of my will and testament for if all of my family have passed. My money will go to the Red Cross as they have helped so much and both disasters started at about to 3 a.m. massive fires and the volunteers turned up in the middle of the night with smiles on their faces to help us get through and were very helpful as they could possibly be trying to look I start 92 people in one small office to get us all set up for Thank you Red Cross read more

Yelp Challenge! Started 8/20/2011 (35 of 365). I have a lot of catching up to do! This organization is a great one to volunteer with. I am part of the Disaster Action Team as a memeber and am on call twice a month to help serve people who have been displaced by a home fire, or other causes. There are monthly meetings to review logistics, meet other volunteers, and on going training as well. Other than the Disaster Action team, there are many other opportunities to volunteer including the Veteran's hospitals all around Las Vegas. If you're looking to volunteer your time to an organization that really makes an impact all over the world, go to the American Red Cross. read more

There was a Red Cross Blood Drive scheduled for April 10, 2020 at International Church of Las Vegas. As a regular donor, I made the appointment in response to all the requests for help that they put out. This appointment was made on March 30, when the COVID stay at home mandate was already in effect, and I did receive an email confirmation with the address on Cliff Shadows. Great. One would figure that if anything changed, it would be totally understandable, but that an email would be sent or a phone call made to let people know, so that folks would not go out there unnecessarily, especially in these times. On the day and time of my appointment, I went there and it was locked up -- nobody there and not even a sign on their door, let alone a heads up through email or phone call. So now this is the second time this has happened where I had a confirmed appointment to donate blood with Red Cross and when I arrive, there is nothing there - cancelled with NO notice - so they show a total lack of regard for people who are trying to do the right thing. (The first time was a year ago in Kennesaw, GA, so this appears to be a national problem with the Red Cross that is unrelated to the pandemic). In any case, it would not take much to reschedule, or to at least let donors know so they don't waste their time nor go into the outside world of COVID unnecessarily. Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, I guess shame on me - but there WILL NOT be a third time. Screw the Red Cross - Never again will I donate blood, money, nor ANYTHING to them and I wouldn't advise others to do so either. They should never again whine about needed any resources, when they ruin any good will toward them by screwing with people this way. All of you people should be ashamed of yourselves. P.S. To donate blood, I DO recommend Vitalant on either Craig Rd. or Charleston Blvd. I have donated blood at both places and have been treated well by the professionals there. read more
