Give Blood. Save Lives. Honor a Beautiful Memory. ❤️

Hillside Islamic Center, in partnership with the New York Blood Center, invites the community to participate in a special summer blood drive held in memory of Afrin Bhuiyan.

A single blood donation may help save up to three lives, and someone in the United States needs blood approximately every two seconds. Since blood cannot be manufactured, hospitals rely entirely on donor generosity to support patients in need.

By donating, you can honor Afrin’s memory while making a direct and potentially lifesaving impact in the community.

🥤 Donor Appreciation: Participants will receive a coupon for a complimentary beverage from a participating local coffee shop.
