The Ridgewood YMCA is proud to partner with the American Red Cross to host vital blood drives throughout the year. The need for blood is constant and critical, and we remain committed to providing a safe and welcoming space for donors to make a life-saving impact.

Although major disruptions like those seen in recent years have eased, the demand for blood continues to outpace supply. Seasonal challenges, emergencies, and medical treatments all contribute to ongoing shortages, making regular donations more important than ever.

Every blood donation matters. A single donation can save up to three lives, offering hope and healing to patients in need. Together, we can help ensure hospitals and communities have the resources they depend on every day.
