The Bikur Cholim and Lakewood Police Department joint blood drive is underway at the municipal building. The event will go until 7:00 p.m.

Donors should allot ½ hour from the time they arrive to donate until they leave.

Donors must be healthy, at least 17 years old or be 16 with parental consent, weigh at least 120 pounds, and present a signature ID. Remember to eat and drink plenty of fluids before donating blood.

“Even if you are not involved in saving lives day-to-day, this is a simple way to help save another person’s life,” says coordinate Heshy Horowitz. “Donating blood is such an easy experience. You sit in a chair and a few minutes later you walk out, knowing you have saved three lives.”
