Being a Blood Donor can be a Sweet Thing to Do

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn is partnering with the New York Blood Center to prevent a blood shortage this summer. In support of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Summer Concert Series sponsored by Legislator Hahn, Brookhaven Town Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich and the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce, a blood drive will be held on Wednesday, July 14th from 2PM to 8PM at the Polish American Independent Club located at 35 Jayne Boulevard in Port Jefferson Station.

As a token of appreciation, the New York Blood Center will provide each donor with FREE box of Girl Scout Cookies!

Walk-ins are welcomed if capacity permits, but appointments are appreciated so call (800) 933-BLOOD or use the QR Code on the flyer to schedule a convenient donation time. Remember to bring valid identification, eat and be well hydrated before making your donation. Please visit https://www.nybc.org/donate-blood/become-donor/can-i-donate-blood/ for eligibility donation information.

Blood supplies during the summer months fall, oftentimes to critical levels with donors taking vacations and colleges and schools on recesses. Help prevent a shortage this summer; remember you can save the lives of three of your neighbors with one donation, so signup today!
