Clark Volunteer Emergency Squad Hosts Holiday Blood Drive
As the holidays approach, the Clark Volunteer Emergency Squad wants to remind you that the need for blood escalates. More parties and poor driving conditions create more chances for accidents. Add to this the regular surgical needs, and you can easily see why blood supplies need to be replenished during these times.
The Clark Volunteer Emergency Squad (CVES) has scheduled a blood drive through The New Jersey Blood Services Division of the New York Blood Center for Wednesday, November 27. Since this is the day before Thanksgiving, the hours for this drive are from 10AM to 4PM. Your donation of one pint can save up to three lives because it can be separated into red blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
Adults must wait eight weeks between donations. Donating is safe and easy. The Clark Squad House is located at 875 Raritan Road and offers private, off-street, lighted parking.
Make someone extra thankful this Thanksgiving, save a life by donating blood.
