FDNY Firefighter John G. Chipura Blood Drive – Staten Island, NY
September 10, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
An FDNY Firefighter John G. Chipura Blood Drive will be held this week, honoring the man who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks twenty years ago. The drives will be held from 9:00am until 3:00pm on Friday, September 10, 2021 on the Staten Island side of the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.

Donating blood is currently more important than ever, as the city’s blood stores are critically low. New York City has only about a 2-3-day supply of blood; and even less of type O blood.

Extra precautions are being taken to help prevent the person-to-person spread of COVID-19.
