All The January 2019 Middlesex County Blood Drives
"This is one of the toughest times of the year." What's especially needed is O-negative, the "universal" blood type, says NJ Blood Services.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — Here is a list of all the blood drives that New Jersey Blood Services is holding in Middlesex County in 2019.
“This is one of the toughest times of the year,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. "In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level."
What's especially needed is O-negative, the “universal” blood type that can be transfused into anyone in an emergency.
