Emergency Blood Drive at Riverhead Cider House

The New York Blood Center is hosting a blood drive at the Riverhead Cider House on Friday, Feb. 7. The drive is a response to a current blood emergency, and donors are urgently needed. The event will run from noon to 6 p.m.

All donors will receive a voucher for a free pint at the Cider House as a token of appreciation. While appointments are preferred, walk-ins will be welcomed if space permits. Donors are reminded to eat and drink before the drive and bring an ID with their name and photo.

If you are unable to donate, you can still help by spreading the word about the need for blood donations. For more details and to make an appointment, please contact Jennifer at 516-310-2382 or jpisano@nybc.org. You can also visit the NYBC website at nybc.org.
