I will reach the 4 gallon mark next time I visit. As always, my experience was excellent. Thank you especially, Carol, for your professional care and concern.

I have been coming to the Coon Rapids location for donating. It has always been a pleasant experience (and I'm scared of blood). The staff is very considerate. I've also used the scheduling area and they were very friendly. It's a good experience and you feel better yourself for donating.
