Hema Care Bloood Plasma Donation Center
So this place is a little different then the rest that they DONT pay money, but they do give you gift cards and other stuff for your time. Check out these guys. I would see what kinds of blood drives they are doing in the LA valley area and see if they have something special to give for that event. A lot of times a company will sponsor an LA blood drive and give away very cool products.

Los Angeles Blood Donation at Bio-Medics
The city of Angels, Los Angeles is a huge sprawling metropolis yet there are only two plasma donation centers in the great LA area.

Hours of operation:
Monday to Saturday 6 – 4.30

How often can one donate at the center?
The body replaces the plasma removed during the donation process quickly; therefore, healthy individuals can donate as often as twice in a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations.

At the first donation you receive $20 then $40 for the second donation during the first week. Then after that you are considered a regular donor and receive $20 and $25 for the first and second donation during a week.
What tests are performed prior to signing up?
Donating plasma is a very safe procedure with minimal or no side effects. On the first visit you will receive a physical exam and your medical history will be recorded. On subsequent visits, a staff member will check your vital signs and ask some questions about your health since your last donation. In addition, your hematocrit (the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells) and plasma protein levels will be measured.
How long does a donation take?
First donation takes about 2-3 hours, after that about 1.5 hours.

Are there any blood banks that take or dispose of blood with high ferritin?
@Anita Usually, a person is not allowed to donate blood if his blood is with high ferritin. This condition can easily be detected once he undergone a series of physical examinations.
Bio-Medics in Los Angeles (and I think everywhere else) is closed.
