In New Jersey, about 520 units of blood were not collected because of Tuesday's storm
The American Red Cross is seeking blood donations after Tuesday's storm forced it to cancel more than 100 blood drives along the East Coast.
It says the cancellations resulted in a shortfall of nearly 4,500 blood and platelet donations.
Across New Jersey, nine blood drives were canceled and four donor centers were closed, meaning that 520 units of blood could not be collected, said Alana Mauger, a spokeswoman for the Penn-Jersey region.
The Red Cross is urging eligible donors to give blood as soon as they are able.
"The need for blood does not get a snow day," Mauger said. "For those in storm-affected areas, please come out to donate when travel is safe. For those in unaffected areas, please help restock the blood shelves."
