New Jersey is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. Health professionals are begging citizens to donate; here are the upcoming Jersey Shore blood drives:
The American Red Cross is offering incentives to blood donors during the month of July as blood and platelet supplies continue to dwindle at Jersey hospitals.
Hospitals' blood supplies are running low because all blood drives have had to be canceled these passed few months because of the pandemic.
Please donate if you can!
If you have any extra non-perishables, please pass by the Old Bridge YMCA today (3/27) and drop them off! The YMCA is also holding upcoming blood drives, and here's the info on that and more about what the YMCA is doing.
Precious Charlotte has had to endure high-intensity chemo, stem-cell transplants and transfusions for a cancerous stomach tumor. Now Senator Vin Gopal and other legislators are offering their help by holding a blood drive so that our community can come together to donate blood.
Their baby girl, Charlotte's life was saved from blood donations just like these and they want to make sure blood is available to other patients just like her.
