Puddle Rides

You can also donate plasma in a group!

You’ve probably heard the term “Plasmaritten” before, right? But what does it actually mean?

What is a plasma ride?

A plasma drive is an event with a minimum of two participants (donors) who drive together to the donation center to give plasma. The Red Cross chapter provides free round-trip transportation for the donors. The chapter schedules these events on days when a volunteer driver is available. Participants sign up for the ride and meet at a central location. The plasma ride departs from there so that both the donation and the round trip can proceed smoothly and comfortably.

Why participate in a plasma drive?

• Do you enjoy donating plasma as part of a group?
• Would you like us to arrange transportation and schedule your plasma donation appointment at the donor center for you?
• Do you enjoy the friendly chats with the other donors who are joining you on the plasma drive?

Please contact the following departments that are currently organizing plasma drives: 

• Kern De Pinteis moving to the Ghent Donor Center
• The Wielsbeke branch is moving to the Kortrijk donor center
• The Malle Branch is moving to the Turnhout Donor Center
• The Nieuwpoort branch is moving to the Ostend donor center 
• The Brasschaat branch is moving to the Edegem donor center 

We look forward to seeing you soon at one of our donor centers!
