NEWARK - For the first time, RWJ Barnabas Health and the New Jersey Devils have teamed up to host a blood drive at the Prudential Center on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Sally Wells, business development liaison at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital blood services, said blood supplies are low this time of year.
"You go from the holiday season strictly into the cold and flu season coupled with the fact that many colleges are closed for a long prolonged period of time ... and a large percentage of our blood donations come from college students," Wells said.
