The American Red Cross works directly with health care facilities in collecting, storing and providing donated human tissue such as bone, skin and heart valves. It serves only as a referral agency for solid organ transplant donations. Some 43 Red Cross chapters nationwide are involved in tissue donation services, procurement, distribution and/or public education campaigns. The precise scope of each chapter’s activities varies considerably, according to local needs. Initial registration as a bone marrow donor can be accomplished when donating blood.

Note: Just because you are an organ transplant recipient doesn’t mean that you cannot donate platelets, etc. Your medications are the determining factor.
