Following the success of his recent Syosset blood drive, Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) is once again inviting residents to donate blood at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library, 999 Old Country Road, Plainview, N.Y. 11803 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 13.
“It was wonderful to see so many people roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life in Syosset. – but as we know, there is an emergency blood shortage, and we must continue to work together to replenish our reserves,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “Whether you are a routine donor, one who hasn’t given in a while or even a first-time donor, there is no better time to make a difference in our community and give us all some added peace of mind.”
Eligible donors must have an ID with a signature or a photo, weigh at least 110 pounds, have had no tattoos in the last 12 months and be ages 16-75 years of age (16-year-old donors must have parental consent. Donors over age 76 must bring a doctor’s note.) O-negative and B-negative donors are especially needed in addition to all other blood types.
Visit https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/321777 to make an appointment or call Sharon at 516-790-1644. Appointments are preferred but not required; walk-ins will be taken as capacity permits.
