It was microbiology honours student Caitlin Ewenson’s third time giving blood.
She thought it was a really cool way to give back.
"I just makes me feel good.
"It’s sort of nice to know that your blood’s being used."
She was good with needles — most of the time.
"I just have to look away because I do accidentally hold my breath sometimes and pass out."
Ms Ewenson donated 470ml of blood yesterday.
NZ Blood donor relations co-ordinator Linda Burt said they would be collecting blood at Union Hall today and tomorrow.
She encouraged people to drop by and donate.
