We have officially gone into an Emergency Blood Shortage:

We have lost approximately 6000 units of blood due to cancellations as a result of Hurricane Sandy. 

To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, please call Toll Free:  1-800-933-2566 / Visit:  www.nybloodcenter.org 

Any company, community organization, place of worship, or individual may host a blood drive.  NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for students who organize community blood drives during summer and winter months.  Blood donors receive free mini-medical exams on site including information about their temperature, blood pressure and hematocrit level.  Eligible donors include those people at least age 16 (with parental permission or consent), who weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, are in good health and meet all Food & Drug Administration and NY or NJ State Department of Health donor criteria.  People over 75 may donate with a doctor’s note.
