I donated blood for many years. I have given almost 5 gallons! But, my wife and I have started, well almost a year now, donating plasma. For 1, we need the extra, for 2, it's really easy. We give twice a week, and make enough to pay a bill and give to church. Being unemployed, you do what you need to do.
But I will say, the people that donate are characters. If you go long enough, you'll see the same people over and over, and they get stranger. I think most are just coming in off getting hi or drunk. Found a bag of coke in the bathroom once. That was good money day!
