The Pleasantville Volunteer Fire Department and the Pleasantville Volunteer Ambulance Corps will be hosting a Summer Blood Drive at the Pleasantville Fire House, 75 Washington Ave, on Wednesday, July 31 from 2:30 pm - 8:30 pm.  Since it is also difficult to organize community drives during the summer, blood donors from all towns are welcome to come to lend their help.

During the summer, it is more difficult to maintain an adequate supply of blood products: schools and corporations have less drives, and people are away from home more than usual.  If the need for blood were to spike due to any reason, lives could be lost if supplies are not on the shelf and blood needs to be shipped in from other areas.

To thank donors for helping, the NY Blood Center is offering anyone who comes a great summer t-shirt to wear proudly. Student donors (16-19) will also be given a $15 Gift Card to Dunkin’ Donuts.

For questions regarding eligibility (travel, medications, last donation, etc): call (800) 688-0900. Sign up on-line at www.nybloodcenter.org/donate-blood/ or call (800) 933-2566.  Although it is helpful to let the organizers know in advance that you plan to come, walk-ins are always accepted.
