On the local level:
The Red Cross has evaluated several Warren County towns and selected Blairstown as the nearest location for an upcoming blood drive.  Details will be forthcoming soon.  

The Red Cross is seeking people who are fully recovered from COVID-19 and may be able to donate plasma to help current patients with serious or immediately life-threatening COVID-19 infections.  Anyone interested should visit the Red Cross website at: https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/dlp/plasma-donations-from-recovered-covid-19-patients.html
