Give the gift of life!

By Linda Toscano   Sat, Jan 28, 2012

You never know when someone you love may need blood

In the deep midwinter, when people get out less often, the New York Blood Center needs even more help from blood donors. Several local blood drives are underway, and those who can give are urged to consider which one may be convenient to them.

  • On Saturday, January 28, Gold’s Gym at 2060 Bellmore Avenue is hosting a blood drive from 12:15 p.m. until 4:45 p.m., and appointments can be scheduled online at the New York Blood Center website.
  • Then on Tuesday, January 31, the Martin Avenue PTA has scheduled a blood drive from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the school at 2616 Martin Avenue, North Bellmore.
  • On February 4, Seaford High School is hosting the Seaford Community Blood Drive at 1575 Seaman’s Neck Road from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • And on February 6 the Knights of Columbus  Council 3476 will hold a blood drive from 2:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. at 2183 Jackson Avenue, Seaford.

 

Readers can contact the New York Blood Center at 1-800-933-BLOOD for more information.
