Sign up to donate blood on January 28th!
WESS in conjunction with New York Blood Center is hosting a Blood Drive on 1/28. As New York is in a Blood Emergency, we encourage everyone to sign up!
From the New York Blood Center:
New York Blood Center (NYBC) has declared a blood emergency and is issuing an urgent call for donors. Holiday disruptions, severe winter weather, canceled blood drives, and widespread seasonal illnesses have led to a significant decline in blood donations, resulting in critically low levels across the region. In recent weeks, blood donations have dropped nearly 40% below what is needed to meet hospital demand, resulting in less than a two-day supply of blood for more than 200 hospitals across the tri-state area. The need for support is more urgent than ever. Please take a moment to schedule your donation today. Your time and compassion truly save lives.
