New York Blood Center receives $300k grant for Queens expansion
What happened
The New York Blood Center is purchasing a new mobile blood collection unit, supported by a $300,000 capital grant from the City of New York. This investment aims to address low blood donations in Queens, which the center reported were down more than 26% compared to 2015. The mobile unit will expand the center’s ability to bring blood drives directly to local schools, workplaces, and community organizations in Queens.
