So had a couple of questions. I volunteer at a pharmacy so would this go under work experience or EC.
Also would donating blood count as a EC?

I would put volunteering at a pharmacy as an EC since you didn't get paid for the work.
If you helped out blood centers by volunteering time to raise awareness or to bring donors to the blood center, then I would count it as an EC.
Yeah the reason I ask is because in the instructions is says
Enter any paid or volunteer work experience
So not sure.

Honestly I'd put it under work experience. I think EC's would be like sports, clubs, being a TA or SI leader, something along those lines. Going in, clocking hours and working (for money or not) sounds like work experience.
If it says paid or volunteer work experience and you produced work product for the site, it seems fair to list it. If you just shadowed, then I would limit it to an EC.
