Community Corner
Emergency Summer Blood Drive in Central Westchester (Pleasantville)
Blood
donations fall off dramatically during the summer when vacations and travel
occupy more of everyone’s time. The need for blood, however, does not decline
and supplies rapidly dwindle. To help
correct shortages that invariably occur, the Pleasantville Volunteer Fire
Department and Volunteer Ambulance
Corps will be hosting a special Summer Blood Drive at the Pleasantville
Fire House, 75 Washington Ave, on Wednesday, August 21 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. All donors will be entered into a
raffle to receive two tickets to the 2014 Super Bowl.
For
information, to sign up or to volunteer, call (914) 747-2408 or send an email
to angela.usobiaga@verizon.net
. Although it is helpful to let the
organizers know in advance that you plan to come, walk-ins are always
accepted.
