The Westchester County Department of Emergency Services has teamed up again with the New York Blood Center’s Hudson Valley Blood Services to sponsor a blood drive on Jan. 29. The event is open to the general public as well as county employees.

It will  take place at the department’s headquarters at 4 Dana Road, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Anyone interested in donating blood should call Joyce Cole at DES (914) 231-1927.

Anyone between the ages of 16 and 76, weighing at least 110 pounds is eligible.

The public is encouraged to donate blood to ease the persistently low supply of whole blood and platelets. This is particularly critical now, since the blood bank has declared a critical emergency due to shortages.

Double red blood cells will be collected as well as regular units of blood. There will also be screening for cholesterol.
