American Red Cross in Greater New York Review

Does not take blood donations every day, which is strange. Otherwise fine. Nice staff and clean facility.

Awesome place, very nice and friendly receptionist staff and security staff. Beautiful looking inside and I always feel great coming there to donate blood.

I worked for the American Red Cross for about 10 years. They are an awesome organization.

The place where great people committing to good causes. Efficiently and effectively opetated.
Clean office space.

Good place to donate blood, would recommend Dr.Acula.

This chapter is awsom i spent time ther for Dr 145-13 all the peaple where so nice its a grate chapter

still work here best volunteer job ever but you can also visit the chapter for blood drives and stuff.

Kind desk staff, informative training, great kitchen

They helped me and my family the most that they could at our time of need. I will ALWAYS be grateful for that!

They rare always welcoming and very respectful, patience is their plus, great time here giving blood to help safe life s.

They did not help my family at all and they lost everything

It's not in a very noisy part of the city. I like going here when I'm due for a donation but can't set an appointment. I don't feel rushed here. Only drawback is on a few occasions, the computer system was messed up and they had to cancel the appointments. I've gotten there 2X to have this happen. A third time, I checked my email before heading out and saw the cancelation notice.

Working their is my pleasure. Thanks everyone for your donations 1 donation says 3 lives.

A really awesome organization always supporting people in times of need.

A great institution. Instructor Hoffman was one of the best I've had the pleasure to train with. Very experienced, still passionate, and very inspiring.

My family and I needed shelter and they did not provide us a place to stay. They claimed its because my dad was an "owner." Very sad about that because now we're living in a horrible condition in the Bronx.

Service with an open heart and a smile. Thank you Red Cross

Nice people providing a service in a clean and safe environment

After losing my place to a fire from a neighboring place, I got told my home was deemed hazardous & not livable. Red Cross finally shows up late into the night, with out enough blankets or water. Then they took sweet time to assist all the families.

I want to thank the Red Cross for what they could do for me. Every thing met so much to me I had a fire lost my baby everything. Im still grateful to you because you reach out. People need to help you gelp other more. Thank you

Where else would you find thousands of volunteers dedicated to helping humanity. The American Red Cross

Great place to volunteer. Caring staff. I volunteered to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in people's homes. Very gratifying experience and the recipients were very appreciative. It's always good to give back to the community. It was part of my company's (Keller Williams NYC Real Estate) day of contribution to our community.

People are nice some people are haters if you don't like Red Cross go to different volunteer

Volunteer... call now Disaster Relief Awesome...Patty J is the best!!!

On November 2nd we had a fire in our homeand they helped us immensely

I did an advance child care course there,excellent ,

Fantastic!! I went in for a first aid/cpr/ aed training and it was awesomely thought

If you're going to give blood this is the place to do it

Did a training here very n nice staff and clean building

Super duper friendly workers from security to the professional plebotomists.
The building currently is in renovating phase but the Red cross Is perfectly situated.

Sort of a far walk to donate blood. But, people are friendly and competent.

One of my best place where i used to help people in need.

Prompt and amazing service. Everyone is really friendly here :)

This is a great organization. The historical posters on the wall inside the building are a pretty cool touch. I've been here to get first-aid training and both instructors I've had were excellent. The place is way on the West Side, so factor that into travel plans.

I donated blood here. It is very easy to find. Stop in and help people that need it.

I went to get trained in Pediatric CPR First Aid. Waited over an hour for the instructor :/ Overall it was quite a learning experience. Very hands on especially when you have a class with only three people.

Give blood. It's rewarding and you can save a life.

99% Volunteers, they do outstanding Service as they have for over 100 years. Join them and find a place for yourself.

Classes are good. Customer service sucks. They ripped me off on supplies. I gave them the requested 2 weeks to fix the situation and they did nothing. My next step is contacting my bank, a lawyer, and the better business bureau for guidance on how to get my money back.

What An Awesome Experience To Be Trained As First Aid/ CPR; Disaster Relief Responder!!!

Received two certifications from here. Reputable organization and learned a lot. Thanks ARC

The building is a bit sterile and empty, so it feels cold and unwelcoming. However, the people who work here and administer your blood donations are incredibly friendly. If you're looking to donate to an organization with a national network, this isn't a bad place to do it.

Overall it takes a bit over an hour and you get snacks afterward.

Hardly ever a line for drop-in blood donations, and the staff are nice.

Couldn't donate. Wasn't pierced on correctly. Have to wait 56 days because my blood touched the bag.

Good people that work there, very helpful and caring

I had one encounter and it was an awful experience.

The trainings provided my red cross can help you save a life

Great location to take an ARC course. Easy access from West Side Highway.

It's.. just depressing. Not sure what they can do to make this place a happy place. The lady that works there is nice but it's a bloody place. It's a sad place. Just.. sad.

Great place to volunteer at! Everyone here is kind and friendly!

Great place to take your CPR /first aid certification. Is a little off the beaten path but a great walk on a nice day.

Donated blood, saving lives! Friendly staff, nice facility.

I seem to live and breathe in the place 24-7 ( I work and volunteer as a Supervising Full Responder and Field Trainer for the DAT Response Department), so my comment here could be considered as bias. But I will state this: it is a fact that the ARC provides services that help bring countless others out of despair and into resolve. Be it responding to fires and vacates, collecting donated blood for those in greater need, providing free fire alarms to the less fortunate, or offering and teaching necessary training and skills to those looking to also make a tremendous difference, the American Red Cross in Greater New York is certainly an entity or organization that strives in the field of absolute optimism and overall benefit to those living in the greater NY area. Again, that is a fact. Ya heard?!

Be sure your blood count is up in order to give blood. It has to be 12...mine was 11...so I have to go back. I'm eating my spinach and black beans.

Ive worked here part time for 10 years. I have to love it.

Great org to volunteer with. I have been with them 27 years

The appointment was delayed an hour and they did the wrong procedure. Nice staff, but c mon man. Have to wait to months now for them to do the right thing, will def go to a different location.

Home of one of the busiest ARC chapters in the country.

During a NY natural disaster I traveled to this location to offer my volunteer services. I had previously donated money during other disasters but wanted to offer REAL help not just money. I sat through an orientation/training and was even photographed by their PR dept during the meeting (I was a successful model and actor). I was then led to a hallway and left where I sat alone forever waiting to be dispatched to the location to actually help those in need. It never happened and I finally left dejected vowing to never support this organization again.

I got CPR training here and it was a good experience.

The American Red Cross and MIRA USA come together to help in disaster areas such as tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, etc. The Red Cross trains anyone who wants to be a volunteer sharing the experience that characterizes them and so the help is for millions of people including animals. You are invited to be part of the difference and being that helping hand. Thanks to The American Red Cross and MIRA USA for the opportunity and knowledge they share with us to bring it to those who need it.

You can't buy CPR mask or anything anymore.Horrible they closed the store inside down.

I took a course for CPR/AED card. My teacher Sami was awesome!5 stars to her:)

Update from July 31, 2020:
Unfortunately New York Blood Center refuse to provide donors with information about the count of COVID-19 antibodies present in the donated convalescent plasma. My calls to American Red Cross to clarify such donations also went unanswered. Disappointing that during such a crucial pandemic time, with billions provided by government to fight the outgoing disaster, the New York Blood Centers refuse to inform donors if their convalescent plasma useful for treatment of hospitalized patient with Covid-19 infection. As I understand that if the count of donor s COVID-19 antibodies is below 380 I.U. convalescent plasma donations are useless. I donated my plasma on May 21 and getting calls and texts from the New York Blood Center asking me to donate again. I would love to do it, but it is not reason to donate and waste much needed financial and human resources if my plasma has low count of antibodies, it makes any plasma (of recovered from COVID infection donor) worthless.
I really want to donate my convalescent plasma as often as possible to save lives, however my calls to administration of the New York Blood Center to change this policy are useless so far. If anyone know how to check the level of COVID-19 antibodies please send me an email NewYorkCityDad@gmail.com My name is Sergio.
