Why Donate
Blood donations are needed every day for surgeries, trauma care, cancer treatment, emergency response, and many other medical needs. A single donation can help multiple patients, and regular community blood drives are one of the most direct ways to support local hospitals and families in need.
This event is part of the ongoing [Queens Masonic Blood Drives] initiative, a quarterly effort that helps connect the Astoria and Queens community with opportunities to give back in a practical and lifesaving way.
