BLOOD DONATIONS
The immediate response for blood donations in New York City
and across the nation has been tremendous. However, the blood centers
are urging people to continue the effort in coming weeks. If you
are interested in donating blood, the blood centers have asked that
you first call and make an appointment so that they can best manage
the influx of donors.
