Program Description
Event Description
Help us reach our goal of 40 donors! There is a critical shortage of blood in our area and nearly 2,000 donations are needed each day in New York and New Jersey alone. The entire donation process takes less than an hour and a single donation can be used to save multiple lives.
You may donate if you are at least 17 years old (16 years old with written consent from parent or legal guardian), weigh at least 110 pounds, and are in good health. Donors with O-negative blood type are especially encouraged to donate, as their blood can be used in emergencies.
Appointments are suggested but walk-ins are welcome. To make an appointment, please call the New York Blood Center at 1-800-933-2566 or visit www.nybc.org.
