Princeton Blood Drive

Mark your calendars for March 10th and join us at the Blood Bus in front of The Jewish Center of Princeton from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for a crucial blood drive. Whether you’re 16 with parental consent or 76 with a doctor’s note, your donation is needed. Appointments are preferred to manage our supplies and staffing – they help us help you and others more efficiently. Walk-ins are welcome, but booking your spot could make all the difference.

Most medications, including those for blood pressure and diabetes, are not a barrier to donating. However, if you’re taking blood thinners or antibiotics, please give this one a pass. The eligibility rules have changed for the better, so if you’ve been deferred in the past due to residency in Europe during the CJD concern, you may now be eligible to donate.

It’s important to know that New York Blood Center, who will be running our drive, serves hospitals in our area, including Princeton Penn Medicine and RWJ hospitals. By donating, you’re directly supporting the health of our community.

For any questions about eligibility or if you’ve traveled recently, please refer to the NYBC donor eligibility guidelines at https://www.nybc.org/donate-blood/donor-eligibility/ or call 800-933-2566. Expect to spend about an hour with us, knowing that your time translates to saving lives. We’re excited to see you there – let’s make a difference together!
