County Commissioners proclaim April
as National Donate Life Month

FREEHOLD, NJ - The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed April 2026 as National Donate Life Month, recognizing the importance of organ and tissue donation, during a workshop meeting held on April 23.

The proclamation was presented by Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone to representatives from Medtronic, Tissue & Biologics in Eatontown.

"National Donate Life Month is a time to educate people about organ and tissue donation, and to honor and remember the donors whose selfless gifts have saved and enhanced countless lives," said Commissioner Director Arnone. "One person's decision to become an organ and tissue donor brings hope to the more than 100,000 individuals currently on the national transplant waiting list, including nearly 4,000 in New Jersey who are waiting for a miracle."

According to their website, NJ Sharing Network serves as the official state affiliate of Donate Life America. The organization is dedicated to recovering and placing donated organs and tissues for those in need of life-saving transplants. They also provide ongoing care and support to the courageous families who choose to give the gift of life through donation.
