That shouldn’t be too complicated, but it can.

Here’s the longer version:
1) Go to the Polish Red Cross / Polski Czerwony Krzyż homepage -> http://www.pck.org.pl
2) Go to “Krwiodawstwo” (”Blood Donation”) and then “Gdzie Można Oddać Krew” (”Where Can We Give Blood”), which will lead you to -> http://www.pck.org.pl/hdk_stacje.php
3) Call the number: (071) 328-66-85
4) No one answers over 20 min. Try another: (071) 328-66-89
5) No such number.
6) Go to “Kontakty” (”Contact”) from the main menu, which gives you -> http://www.pck.org.pl/zg_pck.php
7) Resist the temptation to call the direct number (”Telefon Bezpośredni”) to “Prezes” (”Director”) and call instead “Sekretariat” (”Secretary”) at (022) 326-12-86
Ask: “Do you speak English?”
9) You may get “no” first, but you can get someone else who does.
10) Get the number for the Wrocław branch: (071) 328-26-71
11) Call the last number, then finally you can get the number to the Wrocław central branch: (071) 371-58-00 (10)
12) Ask whatever you need to know. They may speak English, but no guarantee.
