Woodbury police to host community blood drive amid nationwide shortage

WOODBURY, N.J. – The Woodbury City Police Department will partner with the American Red Cross to host a community blood drive on Monday, October 21, 2024, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event will take place at American Legion Post 133 in Woodbury.

The department is aiming to fill 50 donation spots, as the Red Cross continues to face a nationwide shortage of blood donations. Each unit of blood donated can help save up to three lives, aiding individuals such as trauma victims, cancer patients, and those undergoing surgery.
