The nonprofit is urging people to donate blood or platelets at eight drives to take place in Bergen and Passaic counties Thursday through Sunday.
“We need 200 units a day because we supply 18 hospitals,” said Patricia Casino, CBS operations planning manager.
“So it’s a big hit when we cancel all those drives.”
