On Friday, Assemblyman Aron Wieder proudly hosted a blood drive in partnership with the American Red Cross at the Finkelstein Memorial Library in Spring Valley, NY. The event, held at 24 Chestnut Street, brought together community members to support a vital cause, addressing the ongoing need for blood donations in the region.
Assembly Member Wieder actively encouraged residents to participate, emphasizing the profound impact of donating blood. “There’s no better 20 minutes that you can spend in your day than to donate blood with the American Red Cross,” Wieder stated, highlighting the life-saving potential of each donation. The American Red Cross notes that every donation can save up to three lives, making such events critical for hospitals and patients in need.
The blood drive was made possible through the dedication of volunteers, whom Wieder personally thanked for their efforts. “I’m deeply grateful to the volunteers running this blood drive,” he said. “Their commitment ensures that our community can come together to make a real difference.”
The event aligns with the Finkelstein Memorial Library’s history of hosting community-focused initiatives with the American Red Cross, including previous blood drives and preparedness events. It also reflects Wieder’s ongoing commitment to the 97th District, where he has championed public safety and community engagement, as seen in his recent Memorial Day activities and advocacy for local projects.
Assembly Member Wieder extends his heartfelt thanks to all who took the time to donate blood, recognizing their contribution to saving lives. Assembly Member Wieder’s office is committed to serving every constituent and addressing any issue you may face. His district office is readily available and can be reached at 845-624-4601.
This is beautiful but, how come it wasn’t advertised in the Monsey scoop beforehand so that potential donors would have known to go donate? My husband and I have donated many times over the years but knew nothing about the event.
