You don't need to wait for a drive - just check the web site of your local red cross or your local blood center for appointment times.
Also, if you travel a lot internationally, it's worth calling ahead to find out if you've been anywhere which will lead to a deferral - after spending a week in the Philippines this spring, I'm deferred til next Spring.
