ST BART'S 102nd BLOOD DRIVE – FRIDAY July 8, 12 NOON TO 6PM

St Bartholomew’s Church and the NY Blood Center will be conducting our 102nd Blood Drive on FRIDAY, July 8, 12 noon to 6 pm, in the St Bart’s Gym, 15 Palmer Road, Yonkers, NY.

Since August 1981, our drives have collected 7,635 donations.

So, we have averaged just over 75 donations per drive.

NYBC prefers appointments, which take priority, but will allow WALKINS only if the room capacity permits.

Appointment times will be between 12 noon and 6 pm.

It is preferable to make appointments by using:
https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/300234

It will be critical to be on time for your scheduled appointment.

You can change your appointment time on the web site before July 8, noon, as long as there is a slot available.

NYBC will be collecting regular and ALYX blood donations.

COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the process for donating blood.

NYBC will be taking every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of every donor and medical personnel.

Physical distancing will meet FDA and CDC guidelines.

Please remember to eat, drink, and bring your donor ID card or ID with name and photo.

Masks are optional.
