Merrick Kiwanis Club and American Legion Merrick Post 1282 Blood Drive 2026
Dear American Legion Post 1282 Members,
Just a reminder that tomorrow, Saturday, June 6, 2026, we are hosting our first joint Blood Drive with Merrick Kiwanis right here at the Post, 160 West Merrick Road, Merrick, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Blood donations save lives every single day, and the need never stops. We are proud to open our doors for this important community event, and we encourage all our members, family, and friends to come out, roll up their sleeves, and make a difference for patients who depend on blood donations.
Thank you, and we hope to see you tomorrow.
