• There is an American Red Cross Blood Drive at the Plymouth Fire Department, located at 111 N. Center Street in Plymouth from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. You can make a Power Red or Blood donation. A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor. These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg, B Neg, or O blood. A Blood donation is the most common type of donation, during which approximately a pint of ‘whole blood’ is given. This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour. To schedule your appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit Redcrossblood. org.
