This Veterans Day, we’re honoring donors like Josh— a regular platelet donor who made one last lifesaving tripe platelet donation before his deployment earlier this month. Thank you, Josh. Our team is keeping you, and all who serve, in our thoughts today. ❤️

When Colbert needed four units of lifesaving blood, he and Estrella felt the power of donors firsthand. Now, they come to to give back by donating themselves. 💙 Estrella put it best: "It’s not scary… just a few minutes of your time can touch a lot of people."

🎶 “I want to hold your haaaand… while you donate!” All you need is love—and a great donor community. Whether you're a Paul or a Ringo, your donations keep the beat going for patients in need! 💉❤️ #DonorRoundup #LifesaverSelfie #Beatles

The new school year is in full swing and we couldn't be more grateful for the hundreds of students who have already come out to donate! Did you know that high school and college donors account for roughly 20% of all donations nationwide? We think that's a green flag! 💚 🦸 🩸

They’re back! Meet father–daughter donor duo Mark and Saoirse — back at our Kingston Donor Center to save lives together. ❤️ Saoirse said, “It’s family time! It’s our father–daughter date. We go out to dinner after… and also, the snacks.” Like father, like daughter!

"...I got bitten by the blood donation bug. I’m doing an altruistic donation (in) mid-December. I’m so excited to do it." We’re inspired by actor Jesse Eisenberg, who recently shared his plans to donate a kidney to a stranger in need.

Boo! 👻 Our staff might be dressed for Halloween, but we're experiencing something truly frightful—the blood shortage. This season, donate and help keep patient's get through their scariest battles. Find a donation location near you and schedule at donate.nybc.org/.

Donor Charna has the right idea.... it's all about the cookies! 🍪 Did you know, the snacks provided in our canteens may be tasty, but they actually serve a bigger purpose—they help prevent low blood sugar levels post donation. So after your next donation, eat the cookie! 😉
