The Blood Bank asks all Delmarva residents to join its membership plan as a means of providing blood for the community and coverage for themselves and their families. While health insurance plans cover testing and processing fees, the cost of the blood itself is usually not covered. Non-members are billed for any blood they use, or they must find people to replace it. To join the Blood Bank's group plan, please ask your employer for group enrollment information or call our toll free number. You do not have to give blood yourself .
Many employers cover the annual dues as a fringe benefit.
Senior Citizen Plan Senior citizens receive special discounts. Members age 75 and older are not asked to take a turn providing blood, nor are those ages 70 to 74 with 25 years of membership. All rights reserved.
