Animator, pal and all-around fun person Dee Boyd hit me with some awesome info for Rhode Island registration: the Rhode Island Blood Center is hosting a series of drives throughout R.I. for the next two months. Dates and locations are here, but here's an interesting tidbit from the centre's page:

Testing costs are covered by health insurance or Michael's Fund of Fall River, MA. You can register at any Rhode Island Blood Center office or blood drive by asking the staff for an application.
