Local Blood Drives are BACK: July 29, Pleasantville Fire House
During the last three months, local blood drives were all canceled.
The demand for blood had dropped dramatically because hospitals had converted surgical and treatment units into covid units. With services now fully restored, the demand for blood is as high as the pre-covid era, and donors are desperately needed to step up and help fill up empty storage shelves.
The Pleasantville Volunteer Fire Department and the Pleasantville Volunteer Ambulance Corps will be hosting a Summer Blood Drive. Since it is difficult to organize community drives during the summer, blood donors from all towns are encouraged to come to lend their help.
