Lives are saved everyday by blood donors in our community. Hunterdon
Medical Center depends heavily on regular volunteer blood donors to maintain
an adequate and safe blood supply. "Giving blood is the most generous
act of kindness that one human being can do for another. 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," states Cathy
Conroy, Blood Donor Recruiter at Hunterdon Medical Center. To be eligible
to donate blood a person must be at least 17 years of age, be in good health
and weigh at least 110 pounds. To schedule an appointment or for more
information, call Hunterdon Medical Center at: 908.788.6405.

Mane Stream (equine-assisted activities and therapy services) invites
you to support the mission in several ways. Each opportunity has the ability
to make a difference. Whether you are doing a little spring cleaning, looking for
volunteer opportunities or registering kids for camp, Mane Stream has it all.
• Spring Tack Sale: Scheduled for Saturday, April 4 from 8:00 am to 4:00
pm. We're now seeking donations of new and gently used tack or horse related
items. Contact: jen@manestreamnj.org for additional information or to set
up a pickup.
• Spring Sneaker & Shoe Drive: Donate new and gently used sneakers, cleats,
and shoes! Keep shoes out of landfills and provide affordable footwear to people
in developing nations. By cleaning your closets and donating your old shoes, you
are helping to raise much-needed funds to help pay for our farrier costs. Or start
a shoe drive at your school, library, or gym! Contact louisa@manestreamnj.org

Every year there are more than 100,000 reports of child abuse or neglect in
NJ and more than 10,000 children are removed from their homes because the
Court has found it to be too dangerous for them to remain in their homes. Court
Appointed Special Advocates of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties
(CASA SHaW) recruit, screen, train and supervise community volunteers to act as
advocates in court for children living in foster care. CASA volunteers are appointed
by a family court judge to discover the best possible outcome for an abused or
neglected child's future as well as make recommendations that support the
child's current needs. Volunteers receive support and supervision from a trained
social worker throughout the duration of their cases. To find out more, visit:
www.casashaw.org, call 908.689.5515, or email: info@casashaw.org.
