NJBS Hosts Blood Drive in Honor of Local Physician and Blood Recipient

NJBS recently declared a blood emergency, as blood donations have dropped nearly 40% below what is needed to meet local hospital demand

RED BANK, NJ – New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS) will host a blood drive on Thursday, January 29th from 8:00am to 2:00pm at Life Time in Red Bank. The blood drive will be held in honor of Dr. Matthew Chiarello, a local physician, father, Life Time member and blood recipient.

Dr. Chiarello was unexpectedly diagnosed with bone marrow failure early last year and relies on blood transfusions as he awaits a life-saving transplant. This blood drive is being held to celebrate his strength, resilience, and the opportunity to enter 2026 in good health, which was made possible by the generosity of blood donors.

GTPD Traffic- Icy Roadways Causing Numerous Non Essential Drivers To Become Stuck- STAY HOME

Gloucester Township Police, and area police departments, have received an influx of call for service for vehicles stuck on the icy roadways, as the weather has changed from snow to sleet, and possibly icy rain later.

New Jersey State, Camden County, and Gloucester Township Public Works crews are actively working to clear and treat roadways, but unnecessary traffic is making it difficult for plows and salt trucks to do their jobs safely and efficiently.

If you’re a non essential driver, please STAY HOME and STAY OFF THE ROADS until the storm passes and the roads have been properly treated.

Thank you.

Camden County roadwork projects

Several roadway projects will be underway across Camden County during the week of January 26 to January 30.

“Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations,” said Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works. “Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris.”
