Blood Drive in Flanders on Saturday, January 22

A Blood Drive will be held by the New York Blood Center (NYBC) at the Shoprite of Flanders on Saturday, January 22 from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Shoprite is located at 90 Flanders Bartley Road. Please call 800-933-2566 to schedule an appointment if you would like to make a donation.

Donating blood or platelets is one of the few things you can do to make an immediate, life-saving difference for others. To meet the complex needs of the hospitals and patients of greater New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, NYBC needs close to 2,000 people to roll up their sleeves each day to give the gift of life. There is simply no substitute for voluntarily donated blood. Without volunteer donors, our community would not have an adequate community blood supply.

You may also go to the New York Blood Center's website at http://www.nybloodcenter.org/ to schedule an appointment and for information about donation.
