West Point Community Needs Blood Donors

The West Point community in partnership with the American Red Cross is conducting a blood drive at Eisenhower Hall on Thursday, April 3.

The blood drive serves as a critical lifeline for patients in need of emergency lifesaving transfusions. For many, it represents an opportunity to give back to their fellow service members and demonstrate their unwavering dedication to duty and selfless service.

Neighboring community members are welcome to join in this special act and donate from 11:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. in the Eisenhower Hall Ballroom. 

Attendees should enter through Thayer or Stony Lonesome gates. Proper identification is required upon entering the academy grounds and all vehicles are subject to search. Guests should be prepared to show identification at entrance gates. 

To make an appointment online, use zip code 10996 at https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time?zipSponsor=westpoint.
