The donation site will check your hemoglobin by finger stick prior to taking your blood. If you have concerns beyond that and want more information you could get an iron panel ordered through your doctor or an independent lab. There are several threads discussing this in more detail and in particular posts by @Mittir and @tankasnowgod give good explanations on this subject.
