If you wanna give something of real value this holiday season, give blood

And the Jersey City Medical Center at 355 Grand St. is holding a blood drive until 6:30pm today so there is still plenty of time. After you give blood come on back here and read the amazing story of Michael Maggiore and his plea for blood donations.

Plus after you're done "Don't be shy about helping yourselves to punch and cookies."
