June 22 & 23, 2011

Receive a complimentary bag of Dunkin� Donuts coffee when you donate blood or platelets on Wednesday, June 22nd or Thursday, June 23rd at Community Blood Services� New Jersey or New York donor centers.

�Every 2.5 seconds someone needs blood�it could be a friend, a family member or maybe even you,� said Garrett Allen, call center manager.

Allen said all blood types are needed, especially O negative, in order to meet the needs of patients at area hospitals. Platelets are also needed to treat patients diagnosed with cancer or other blood disorders and AB male plasma donors are needed for burn and trauma victims. Currently, blood supplies are low because people are going on vacation and starting their busy summer schedules, he said.

Donors can donate at the Paramus Donor Center, 970 Linwood Avenue West, Paramus, on Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Thursday, 12 noon to 7:30 p.m., or at Lincoln Park, 63 Beaverbrook Road, Suite 304, on Wednesday from 1 to 6:30 p.m.

In New York, donors can donate at the New Windsor Donor Center, 575 Hudson Valley Avenue, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
