We have information sheets and pieces of paper for donors to fill out if they're interested in donating platelets. Remember that female donors will need to request a platelet count by calling a number right after they successfully donate whole blood. If you plan on recruiting platelets, make sure you read over the platelet information sheet and understand the process/requirements before you recruit.

You will be getting 1 hour for every 5 items that you bring in, and we'll be having a social to put them all together before the end of the year.
