Red Cross of Central Ohio Reviews

Wonderful classes and so easy to find. Just happy that they have so many classes and services. Such nice people.

I recently [10-22-2019] took a tour, that had been arranged by The Columbus Foundation, of the American Red Cross building at 995 E. Broad St.

It had been very interesting to see what happens inside of a building [that resembles the Jerry Hammond Center at 1111 E. Broad St. but is smaller] that I have passed many times but had never before visited.

Our tour group split into two sub-groups and briefly visited the several different labs that are located throughout that building [that had been built in 1965 for the American Red Cross]. Our two sub-groups then re-convened for a closing session that included a lot of "question-and-answer."

It is possible for the public to donate blood at 995 E. Broad St. [that building is located on a regularly-served COTA bus line] but there are also many other blood donation centers throughout central Ohio.

I try to donate as often as possible. The people at this location were very kind and professional. The room the donations are done in is large and clean. There is free parking in a lot next to the building at that is very convenient. Each blood donation can save up to 3 lives, donate!

Excellent!!! I have gone to several different training classes and this was the best
The staff was nice and knowledgeable also very patient!!!

Regular red cross.. If you been to one you've been to them all.

I love what they do to aid, and support those in need.

The Red Cross is constantly calling my house at least 20 to 30 times a week. We have asked them over and over to, remove our telephone number from their call list and, to date, they still refuse to remove our number and constantly call us at home. They double their calls on the weekends and, we have gotten to the point that, we will no longer answer our phone because of the constant calling from the Red Cross.

For anyone wondering:
As long as your blood pressure is below 180 systolic (first number) and below 100 diastolic (second number) at the time of donation you can. Medications for high blood pressure do not disqualify you from donating.

well actually i'm trying to find some one to answer a question for me. i can not seem to find a web site to ask -- so,, my doctor has put me on blood pressure medication, am i still able to donate my blood ?? in the past, i have given doubles when ever i could. i am on prinzide . ithank, who ever answers my question.

Easy to donate. Quick in and out. Staff were pleasant and efficient. This is about saving lives.

Red cross is not bad at this location but you would be better off going some place else

This place offers amazing options. Call them if you want to learn how to save a life, donate blood or to offer your services to help others elsewhere.

Great place to get some free cookies... and help your fellow humans.

I started volunteering with the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus over two years ago. In that time I have had the opportunity to honor First Responders, Veterans, and Volunteers through the 2018 Heroes Gala. We honored outstanding people who went above and beyond to help their community in their chosen field.

One of the most fun events I participated in was the Sound the Alarm program in which we tested and replaced smoke detectors throughout the Greater Columbus area. This was a great opportunity to volunteer in a small group, meet amazing people, make new friends, and help to make sure our neighbors were protected and had plans to evacuate their home in case of a fire.

I am currently working with the Recruitment Team to bring awareness to the various opportunities the Red Cross has to help alleviate human suffering. Whether it is by volunteering as a Blood Donor Ambassador, working at Blood Drives, or volunteering to drive in our Blood Transportation area, it allows people to be a part of helping to save countless lives.

There are also opportunities in Disaster Response and Relief to help be the best part of a person s worst day. From major natural disasters to a home fire in the middle of the night, these dedicated volunteers are always ready to respond. I am honored to play a part in recruiting new volunteers and seeing them flourish and gain a sense of satisfaction by helping.

The American Red Cross of Greater Columbus is an amazing organization and I am so glad that I began to volunteer and know that I will continue to volunteer for many years to come.

Wonderful group of people to volunteer with! I get to help the community and also learn more about it at the same time. I'm excited to continue volunteering and making a difference here!
