Why donating blood may be healthy you

It only takes a few moments to make the commitment to tissue donation… Sign a donor card and carry it with you. But more importantly, talk to your family and make sure they understand your commitment to donate because their consent is required before tissues can be donated. If you change your mind after you sign a donor card, simply tear up the card and tell your family about your decision. Read more information

The Jersey Coast Chapter was founded in 1917 along with several other chapters in Monmouth County . During World War II, all Monmouth County chapters were united into one chapter that was headquartered in Shrewsbury in a residential house in Shrewsbury . The Board of Directors, in the early 1960’s, voted to expand the Chapter’s facility by taking down the residential building and replacing it with a larger chapter house.

In 1992, the Monmouth Chapter and Ocean Chapter merged to become the Jersey Chapter. In September of 2000, the Chapter made a major move from their Chapter house in Shrewsbury to the current Chapter headquarters located in Tinton Falls . A satellite office still remains in Toms River .
