Crossroads Church Holding Blood Drive on Monday

MLK Day Holiday drive is from 2:30-8-30 p.m. at Carmans Road church.

The Crossroads Church of Long Island is holding a blood drive Monday from 2:30-8:30 p.m.

The church, located at 610 Carmans Road, Farmingdale, is encouraging donors to join them. Experts say a blood donation can save up to three lives and, at this time of year, blood supplies are often low.

The requirements:

  •  Bring ID with signature or photo.
  •  Minimum weight 110 lbs.
  •  Age 16 – 75 (16 year olds must have parental permission. Age 76 and  over need doctor's note.)
  •  Eat well (low fat) & drink fluids
  •  No tattoos for past 12 months
For questions concerning medical eligibility call 1-800-688-0900.
