ImpactLife sponsors a community blood drive at Roots, with two mobile donation buses available for scheduled appointments in the parking lot. Donating is free and helps people who need it most, including trauma and cancer patients, new mothers, and others facing illness. Eligible donors are at least 16 years old, weigh 115 pounds or more, and are in good health. Sixteen-year-old donors must bring a parental consent form completed in ink. The visit typically takes about an hour and fifteen minutes, while the actual draw of a pint of whole blood usually lasts eight to ten minutes, and times can vary based on health history and how busy the drive is. Whole blood and double red cell donations will be accepted. Donors may also request that their donation be directed to a specific patient. To prepare, drink extra fluids, eat beforehand, and bring a valid photo ID.
