Blood Drive at the 70th Precinct in Ditmas Park

The 70th Precinct is hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, May 30 from 12:30-6:30pm in front of the station house at 154 Lawrence Ave.

A representative of the New York Blood Center spoke at the Community Council meeting last week and said that the need for blood spikes around holidays like Memorial Day weekend, both because of decreased donations due to people being away and an increase in accidents due to increased travel.

So if you meet the requirements to be a blood donor, please consider stopping by this event. If you’d like to schedule an appointment, you can do so here.
