Holidays are for fun and full of more activities than normal. At a time when we are too busy to think about donating blood, the need for blood actually increases due to more accidents and medical emergencies.

For these reasons, the Most Wonderful Time of the Year is usually marked by blood shortages. The Emanuel Lutheran Church and the NY Blood Center are offering you a way to help.

Although this drive makes it convenient for Pleasantville residents to participate, blood donors from all towns are welcome to come to lend their help.
