Holiday Blood Drive Severe Blood Shortage!

Leave a comment

The Lyndhurst Police Emergency Squad  will be holding its Last blood drive of 2012 on Saturday December 22nd  from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the LPES building located on 297 Delafield Ave in Lyndhurst. Give a very special gift to someone this holiday season… Your Blood Donation!

Every Donor will get a free Blood Center of NJ Tee Shirt

Blood donations are needed due to Superstorm Sandy. At least 16 states have had to cancel or postpone blood drives due to Sandy. That has caused a shortage of blood and platelets in blood banks nationwide. The American Red Cross says there is a shortfall of nearly 12,000 units.

-Donor’s requirements including being 16 years of age, weigh120 pounds and be in general good health.  There is no upper age limit for donors provided they meet health requirements.  Donors should bring a signed or picture form of identification and know their S.S. #.  Please eat a meal one hour before donating and drink plenty of water.

Healthy individuals between the ages of 17 to 75 and weighing at least 110 pounds are encouraged to donate blood. Donors with Type O blood are especially encouraged to donate, as the reserve for this type is extremely low.
