NYBC Calls for Blood Donations in NY & NJ Following Historic Blizzard

New York Blood Center (NYBC) is projected to lose nearly 3,000 donations due to the snow storm, significantly impacting the region’s blood supply for the next week. NYBC shut down early on Sunday due to dangerous travel conditions, resulting in the loss of approximately 700 donations. All blood drives and donor centers were closed today, with additional community blood drive cancellations continuing into the week as schools, businesses, and community partners focus on storm recovery.

NYBC is asking all eligible donors across New York and New Jersey to make a donation at a blood donor center convenient for them as soon as it is safe for them to travel again. NYBC expects its donor centers to re-open on their regular schedules tomorrow if the weather permits. Blood is perishable and recovering from the significant losses caused by this storm will require strong donor participation over the coming days.
