Stony Brook, NY - January 5, 2017 - Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn will be partnering with the New York Blood Center to save lives this winter by hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, January 17, 2017.  The drive will be held from 2:00PM to 8:00PM in the Stony Brook Fire Department’s Recreation Room located at 1402 Stony Brook Road.  As a token of appreciation, the Blood Center will provide each donor with a voucher for a free McDonald’s large sandwich or salad in recognition of his/her commitment to saving lives. 

Walk-ins are welcomed, but appointments are appreciated so call (631) 854-1650 to schedule a convenient donation time, today!  Please remember to bring valid identification, eat and be well hydrated before making your donation.  Due to New York Blood Center guidelines, donors must weigh over 110 pounds, be between the ages of 16 and 75 and not have had a tattoo in the past 12 months. 

Blood supplies this time of the year fall, sometimes to critical levels, with donors taking vacations and colleges and schools on recesses for the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday.   Help prevent a shortage this winter; remember you can save the lives of three of your neighbors with one donation, so signup today.
