Congressman Leonard Lance helped to organize a Community Blood Drive at Hunterdon Medical Center on Tuesday, June 30th.  Congressman Lance has been donating blood for more than 30 years and has donated 11.25 gallons to Hunterdon Medical Center.   "Donating blood is one of most generous act of kindness that one human being can do for another," said Lance, who is an avid support of local blood drives and personally donates three to four times each year. "When you give blood, you save lives."  Blood is used for accident victims, newborn babies and their mothers who need a transfusion, people undergoing surgery, patients receiving treatment for cancer and other diseases.

To be eligible to donate blood a person must be at least 16 years of age (16 years old need a note from parents for consent), be in good health and weigh at least 110 pounds.
