The East Brunswick Rescue Squad is hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, July 21, 2-8 p.m., at the squad building at 346 Cranbury Road.
The blood donation drive is being held in honor and remembrance of Dennis Klein who recently passed away as a result of cancer. He was the husband of squad life member Susan-Bender Klein.
To donate blood you must be between 17 and 76 years old. Sixteen-year-olds can donate with parental consent form and those 76 and over can donate with a doctor’s note. You must weigh at least 110 pounds and meet other requirements. Most medications will not keep you from donating. People with diabetes and blood pressure controlled by medication can donate. Please eat before you come and bring ID and proof of age.
The squad is partnering with New Jersey Blood Services, a division of the New York Blood Center, non-profit organizations that provide blood to local and regional hospitals.
