Blood Drive at 88th Precinct Tuesday

New York Blood Center is holding a Blood Drive at the stationhouse at Classon and Dekalb avenues on Tuesday.

Walk-in donors will be accepted until 7 p.m.

According to the NYBC, over 2,000 pints of blood are needed everyday to meet the need of patients in New York and New Jersey hospitals.

Yet only 2 percent of New Yorkers donate blood. That's compared to 5 percent nationwide.

For a list of restrictions on who can donate blood—a list that includes people on certain kinds of antibiotics, those with new tattoos and gay and bisexual men—visit NYBC's website.
