Princeton Township to Host Blood Drive Sept. 7

On Wednesday, Sept. 7 Princeton Township will conclude its "Lose to Win" health and wellness campaign with an employee blood drive, coordinated by the Police Department.

The blood drive is being conducted by the Community Blood Council of New Jersey, a local organization that routes donated blood to local hospitals rather than a central blood bank. This means that blood that you donate may very well end up at UMCP to help a member of the Princeton community.

If you are interested in donating blood, the bloodmobile will be in the front lot of Police Headquarters on the Sept. 7 and the drive will begin at 3pm.

Donations are done by appointment and the process typically takes 20 minutes. Appointments are every half hour beginning at 3pm, with the last appointments at 7pm.

To schedule an appointment send an email to mrcifelli@princeton-township.nj.us ASAP before the prime slots fill up. Indicate what time is best for you; if there is a conflict, Sgt. Cifelli will contact you.
