Blood Drive (New York Blood Center)

The New City Library is thrilled to have the opportunity to return to hosting our annual Blood Drive at the Library once again this year!

Blood from volunteer donors is needed every two seconds to help meet the daily transfusion needs of cancer and surgery patients, accident and burn victims, newborns and mothers delivering babies, AIDS and sickle cell anemia patients, and many more!

Please spread the word and invite all your family and friends to please consider donating blood.

Walk-ins are welcome or you can register for an appointment below:
