There is a critical shortage of blood donations for life-saving surgeries and regular surgical procedures in the greater New York City area. The New York Blood Center will be holding a blood donor drive on Sunday, November 22 from 9 am to 4 pm in the San Damiano Hall. They are in dire need of regular pints of blood and blood platelets. We chose this particular time because it is before the holiday time (Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day) when not many people donate pints of blood.  Holiday celebrations often lead into accidents where emergency surgeries are required.

Please sign-up on our website for the Blood Donor Drive and invite family members and friends to donate blood as well. Advance registration is required and please complete the initial registration form below or see Father Brian in-person who will fill out your registration form. Please be patient because each donor is required to fill out a questionnaire before donating blood. Some of the questions are personal but need to be asked in order to have healthy blood donations.

For more information, please contact Father Brian Jordan at bjordan@stfrancisnyc.org or call him at 212-736-8500 ext. 232.

You will be literally saving someone’s life.
