    Bronx Emergency Blood Drive

    The New York Blood Center (NYBC) has lost approximately 4,500 units of blood due to cancellations Monday – Wednesday.  They anticipate that they will continue to be forced to cancel blood drives throughout the weekend and perhaps even into next week.

  • Monday, 10/29, NYBC operated just 5 of 45 Sites (45 Operations – A combination of Donor Centers and Community blood drives)
  • Tuesday, 10/30, NYBC operated just 4 of 45 Sites (45 Operations – A combination of Donor Centers and Community blood drives)
  • Wednesday 10/31, NYBC are operating just 10 of 45 Sites
  • NYBC hopes to be at 50% of capacity Thursday and perhaps 75% by Friday and the weekend.

    • In all, NYBC will likely have lost 6,000 or more donations, and types O-, B- and platelets are in extremely short supply.
