Hiya!

Is there a minimum weight you have to be to be able to give blood? (I think there is...) and is there a maximum weight you should be?

Thanks!

Minimum weight requirements may vary among facilities, but generally, donors must weigh at least 110 pounds. Most blood banks have no upper age limit. All donors must pass the physical and health history examinations given prior to donation.
