Recently retired Arlington Fire District Captain Jeff Pells can use our help. After many years of him helping people, its time for us to help him!

Jeff is currently receiving 10-12 units of blood products daily and will continue to receive them for quite a while.

The Poughkeepsie Elks Club at 29 Overocker Road is having a blood drive on Friday, January 28th from 11:30am - 4:30pm.

Please, please if you can, come and donate blood. It won’t go directly to Jeff, but the Red Cross is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade.

Health emergencies don't pause for holidays, football games or a pandemic. Donors are needed NOW to help patients, like Jeff, make a comeback!
