Join Putnam County members for the annual holiday Blood Drive at the Daniel O’Brien VFW Hall, 32 Gleneida Ave, (Rt.52) Carmel, NY on Friday, December 27, 2019, from 2:00 – 8:00 PM. For information, please call Paul Deleo at 347-408-6052 or Denis Hanrahan at 845-225-3048. Four and a half million Americans will need blood this year. One donation can save up to 3 lives. Most blood donations go to cancer patients with the balance going to trauma and surgical procedures. The need is unrelenting but the donations wane during the holiday season.
