New York Blood Center

New York Blood Center is one of the largest, independent, community-based, nonprofit blood centers in the United States. Join us in saving lives by scheduling a donation today!
⏰ You have until this Friday to donate blood and choose your thank-you gift: a beanie or a pair of our “Lifesaver” socks!
The need for blood is urgent. Holiday travel, winter illnesses, and the New Year slowdown mean donations drop when patients still rely on every unit.

When Colbert needed four units of lifesaving blood, he and Estrella felt the power of donors firsthand. Now, they come to to give back by donating themselves. 💙
