Crucial Blood Drive Scheduled In Millburn Monday

MILLBURN, NJ - A community blood drive at Congregation B'nai Israel Monday is crucial to help preventing blood shortage, according to New Jersey Blood Services.

According to officials, the cold weather and government shutdown cancelled many other drives in the area. All donors will receive a $5 Dunkin Donuts gift card as thank you for donating blood.

The Congregation B'nai Israel drive is from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., and is located at 160 Millburn Ave.
