The blood drive will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 14 in the ALJ gym.

This release was submitted by ALJ.

The Arthur L. Johnson community launched a joint effort in providing aid to all of those affected by Hurricane Sandy. The ALJ Student Council is organizing this relief effort with the support of the Key Club. Over the next week, a blood drive, food and clothing drive will take place at Arthur L. Johnson High School.  We are looking for the entire community to help donate to those affected by the storm.

In addition, hours will be extended until 7:00pm for members of the community. The Blood Center of NJ is asking for your donation due to the emergency blood shortage throughout the state.
