Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are very important to NYBC and are in great demand. They are all ages, and act as public relations emissaries for NYBC. Volunteers support our mobile blood drives, our donor centers in Nassau and Suffolk and our administrative office needs. Volunteers may meet and greet donors at drives, sign donors in at drive registration, and perform clerical and computer work at our offices. Our volunteers get to meet interesting, caring people and travel to new locations each day. And they support a vital mission - saving lives. Volunteer opportunities exist throughout our community.

To sign up as a NYBC volunteer in Long Island & Queens, please contact Jean Zore at (516) 478-5060 or by email at jzore@nybloodcenter.org.

Long Island Blood Services (LIBS) has been fulfilling its commitment to the people of Long Island and Queens for over 40 years by supplying life-saving blood products and services to approximately 50 hospitals throughout Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties. Headquartered in Westbury, LIBS is the largest region within New York Blood Center, partnering with over 1,400 business, education, government, religious and community organizations to conduct an estimated 300 mobile blood drives each month.

Long Island Blood Services' (and New York Blood Center's) ultimate goal is self-sufficiency, as this region has never independently met its need for blood products. Each day, LIBS relies on the generosity of nearly 800 volunteer blood donors from diverse backgrounds to ensure a continuous supply for the one in three of us who will require a transfusion during our lifetime. Thanks to our donors, our staff is able to work in close cooperation with local hospitals 24 hours a day, seven days a week to best manage blood products for patients in need of life-saving transfusion services.
There are many blood-drive locations in Long Island and Queens. You can use the blood drive locator to find the most convenient location for you.



New Port Jefferson Station Donor Center Open 
Long Island Blood Services has opened its new full-service Donor Center in Port Jefferson Station.  The Center is located at 1010 Route 112, one block south of Route 347. The Port Jefferson Station Center is a welcome addition to conveniently service our donors living and traveling along these busy corridors. 

PLATELET DONORS NEEDED 
Is your blood type A+, B+ or AB? If YES, consider making a platelet donation at one of our donor centers (Lake Success, Rockville Centre, Bohemia, Melville, Port Jefferson Station and Riverhead). Platelets are needed by cancer patients and others to assist with clotting problems. The platelet donation process takes about 75 minutes but we suggest you allow 2 hours to include registration, medical history and refreshments. For more information or to schedule a platelet appointment, call us at 1-800-933-2566 or click here to schedule online.
