Give Blood Now, Save Lives Through the Summer

The American Red Cross hopes in May to offset declines in the summer with opportunities in Nyack, Sparkill and West Haverstraw

The American Red Cross asks eligible donors to give blood in the weeks leading up to summer to help prevent a seasonal decline in donations. You can help by reminding the public that blood donations often decline when regular donors get busy with vacations and school is out of session, but the need for blood is constant.
