The Indiana Blood Center created DonorPoint.org to let people who want to help others by donating blood have a quick and easy way to know where they should go to do so. On this website, anybody can schedule to give blood at any of the mobile drives that are available, and (also) at any of the several community donor center within Indiana.
In the first case, the user can locate the nearest bloodmobile by ZIP code, date and sponsor, whereas those who want to donate blood at any branch can easily make an appointment and give whole blood, platelets, or double red cells.
Users of DonorPoint.org have to create a profile to start using the site. That costs nothing, and if you become a registered user of DonorPoint.org you’ll be able to access your full wellness information and donor history. You’ll be able to see when did you last gave blood, and where. And you’ll also see how many points you have got – DonorPoint.org has established a rewards program that lets you get prizes such as t-shirts, caps and free haircuts for your involvement. These items and services can be instantly redeemed once you’ve got enough points. And it’s interesting to mention that the site even lets you donate your points back.
