For a whole blood donation, about a pint of blood is collected and separated into two components: plasma, and red blood cells. The value of a whole blood donation is that you help save two lives! The red blood cells are often necessary to treat surgery patients and those rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, car accidents and other types of traumas. You can donate whole blood every 8 weeks.
