I accompanied my fiancé here for his first donation because I had my own first-donor appointment…read morescheduled for the following morning. After this experience, I canceled mine. His appointment was at 12:30 PM. We arrived at approximately 12:33. Despite there being very few people waiting and no one actively donating when we arrived, he was not acknowledged or called back until approximately 1:04. At around 1:14, an employee told me I could not remain inside. I explained that my fiancé had the car keys and I needed to get them from him. Instead of helping me retrieve the keys, she repeatedly told me to "leave the premises" and that I could not stay inside. There was an active heat advisory, and the temperature felt like approximately 103°F. I also have an existing knee injury that was becoming increasingly painful while standing outside. I had no access to the car or air conditioning. Despite repeatedly communicating with my fiancé inside and him attempting to find an employee so he could bring me the keys, I did not receive them until 1:38 PM. I spent approximately 24 minutes outside in the heat and was drenched in sweat by the time I was finally able to get into the vehicle. Unfortunately, the experience inside wasn't much better. My fiancé was instructed to use either the second or fourth terminal for his questionnaire, despite both of those terminals being marked out of service. He was then directed to wait for other people to finish using different terminals. Once he finally got access to one, he had to complete 53 questions while the machine read each question and answer choice aloud. At approximately 2:22 PM--nearly two hours after his scheduled appointment--he STILL had not received his physical, much less begun donating. At that point, we both gave up and left. He spent nearly two hours at the center and never even reached the physical examination. I understand that first-time donor appointments take longer and require additional screening, paperwork, and education. I was fully expecting that. What I was not expecting was disorganization, contradictory instructions, extremely poor communication, and an employee refusing to help me access our vehicle while sending me outside during a heat advisory. I specifically accompanied him because I wanted to see what the process was like before my own appointment the next morning. This experience answered that question for me. I canceled my appointment and will be donating elsewhere. I would strongly recommend that management review the first-time donor process at this location, particularly staffing, communication, working equipment, wait times, and how employees handle situations involving guests who need access to a donor's belongings.

I have recently become a certified Red Cross volunteer as Disaster Action Team in Central Florida…read more When one thinks about the Red Cross, usually mass disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes come to mind; however the Red Cross does FAR more than that for the community. The Red Cross responds to local disasters on a daily basis, such as house fires, which occur many times a day in Greater Central Florida. Teams respond with compassion, care, and assistance for those impacted by a disaster. Working with multiple agencies, the Red Cross makes sure that victims of disaster are set up with immediate care for temporary housing, food, counseling and so much more. This local chapter in Orlando has an amazing team in place, balancing logistics, client care, volunteers and also offers a plethora of courses to the community in a variety of fields, such as certification for CPR/First Aid and more. The road to becoming a certified volunteer is rigorous and there are many courses to complete, but so very worth the time invested. This local chapter is so well managed and truly worthy of a 5 star rating. If you find yourself in need of assistance, please reach out to the Red Cross. If you are looking for a great place to volunteer, the Red Cross will help you find a good 'fit' for what you are looking to do. Hands on disaster response was my choice, but there are a great many areas that are needed to support the operation in administration areas, hospitality areas and more. Please contact the Red Cross now if you wish to become a volunteer and you will be trained and ready when the need arises for activation of volunteers.
