Attention any of you who aren't skittish around a needle: The New York Blood Center needs your arms. The center had to cancel all of its drives on Sunday because of the storm, which means it lost out on about 2,000 donations.
The center, which serves people in the five boroughs, Long Island, the Hudson Valley and New Jersey, says that it needs all types of blood.
If you can help, please visit its website or call 1-800-933-2566 for more information.
