Blood Drive In Port Washington To Help Hurricane Victims

A community blood drive will be held in Port Washington on Thursday to help recent hurricane victims.

The drive, organized by WAC Lighting, will be held at WAC Headquarters, located at 44 Harbor Park Drive, from 1 to 7 p.m.

The drive has a target goal of 200 donors. The blood will be sent to people in need in the hurricane-devastated areas.

“We have all been watching with painfully familiar heartache the devastation that slowly drowned folks out of their homes,” Shelley Wald, President of WAC Lighting, said in a press release. “Many members of our community and industry have reached out inquiring how together we can help our friends, customers, and neighbors. To help those in need, we are hosting a Community Blood Drive.”

A tent with food, a clown and entertainment for kids will also be available at the drive.

To register for the blood drive, email giveback@waclighting.com.

WAC has also helped raise funds for food banks and will be sending 10,000 manually powered emergency flashlights to local emergency shelters.
