Community members are being urged to donate blood and platelets as Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus hosts a blood and platelet drive on Thursday, January 8, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at its facility located at 600 River Avenue, Lakewood.

The drive is being held in recognition of National Blood Donor Month, a time when blood supplies are traditionally low due to winter illnesses, weather-related disruptions, and increased medical demand. Organizers say the need is especially urgent this year, citing a serious shortage.

Appointments are encouraged and can be scheduled online here.
