This Blood Drive has been postponed due to Sunday’s winter storm.

A blood drive will be held in the Gym on [to be announced]. It’s organized by St. Peter Academy Student Council and New Jersey Blood Services.

We are currently experiencing a blood shortage emergency and there is an urgent call for donors. Holiday disruptions, severe winter weather, canceled blood drives, and widespread seasonal illnesses have led to a significant decline in blood donations, resulting in critically low blood levels across the region. This leaves a very low supply of blood available at hospitals.

Students from the SPA Student Council decided to host a blood drive because, as Catholics, we are reminded that the Blood of Christ, poured out for us in love, is a sign of sacrifice, mercy, and life itself. By encouraging those of age to give blood, our students are responding to that same call—to give of ourselves so that others may live, heal, and be strengthened. This blood drive is more than a service project; it is an expression of our faith in action.

While walk-ins are welcome, we encourage you to pre-schedule an appointment. Thank you for your support!
