We were honored to sponsor the American Red Cross blood drive held in Flemington, NJ on August 6, 2021. We are grateful to the friends, clients and business partners from Hunterdon County, Somerset County, and Bucks County who came out to donate.
We met a few regular blood donors who have given over 5 gallons! Benchmark Lending’s “I’m a Lifesaver” waterproof bag giveaway was a hit with donors.
There’s still a severe blood shortage in New Jersey, you can find local blood drives here: redcrossblood.org
