In the aftermath of the horrific attacks on the World Trade Center 16 years ago, New Yorkers came together in a spirit of mutual support, cooperation and generosity. We recapture this spirit each year with a Day of Service each September.

Please participate on Sunday, September 10th in one or more of the following:

ANNUAL BLOOD DRIVE

9:00am-3:00pm:

A Blood Emergency for certain blood types has been declared. Please honor 9/11 on this 16th anniversary as a national day of remembrance, service, charity & compassion by donating blood. The New York Blood Center is a proud partner of the Magen David Adom so your donation is a double mitzvah. Be healthy, aged 17-75 (16 with NYBC parental consent form) & have photo or signature ID. If you have a blood donor card, please bring it with you – it will speed your registration. Walk-ins welcome! Questions/reserve a time? Call Seryl 718.549.8152 or sermc@aol.com. Please join us and save a life.

CLOTHING DRIVE

9:30am-12:30pm:

Please sort and bag separately men’s, women’s and children’s clothing in sturdy garbage bags. We also are collecting sheets, blankets, quilts and towels. Please bag those separately. Deposit clothing in the truck that will be stationed outside the HIR. Volunteers are needed. If you are able to help for even a short amount of time please email Steve Pretsfelder or Barbara Gochberg At spretsfelder@vanwagner.com or call 718.601.3586.
