Blood Doners: Less than who can donate... do donate.

Did you know only 10% of all people who can donate blood does?  Think about it, are you one of the 10%.  People are dying every day because they need blood and it’s not there for them.  No, not some rural, or in a far off country, Right here on Long Island.  My late husband received many life giving transfusions and we are thankful to all of you who donate your blood.  You never know if you are saving the life of an infant, a child, some one’s Mom, some one’s Grandpop.  Donating blood is a quick, safe painless way to help out those in need.  It’s a simple process.  Once you have filled out paperwork and meet the criteria for donating blood you are all set.  Come on think about it.  Are you one of the 10%.  Can you save some one’s life?  Will you save some one’s life. 

 

The NY Blood Services is holding many Super Community Blood drives to help with the critical need they have here on Long Island.  Find a local center or go to one of the many Blood Drives around.  This weekend Calvary Baptist of Bay Shore will sponsor a community blood drive.
