Yesterday I got some info on the blood bank at the Clearlake MD Anderson in case anyone was interested in giving blood around this area. That way you wouldn't have to go all the way to the medical center. So the center is right by St. John's Hospital on NASA Road 1. Go into the MD Anderson building. The lab is in Suite 380. The phone number is 713-834-6668. The hours are:
Monday: 8am-4:30pm
Tues/Thurs: 11:30am-8pm
Wed/Fri: 6:30am-3pm
You need to call and make an appointment if you are giving platelets and the last platelet appointment is 2 hours before they close. Also, you will need a picture id to donate.
Hope this info helps.
*For those that don't live in Houston, read my mom's comment from this entry. It will direct you to how you can donate in your area.

Lauri, I checked locally and there are 2 blood centers in south LA & both have a blood replacement plan with MD Anderson. Ochsner Blood Bank & The Blood Center are both members of American Association of Blood Banks (AABB)as is MD Anderson. They will send credits under your name and your account (637036) will recieve $10 or $15 per blood donation depending on the center. Others can check out their local blood bank to see if they are members of AABB and will send credits to MD Anderson. It does not matter what blood type the donor is. Have them give your name as an MD Anderson patient.
