Brothers and Sisters,

Pipefitters Local 537 will be hosting a Blood Drive at our Training Center, located at 40 Enterprise Street, Dorchester, this Saturday, January 7, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. January is National Blood Donor Month, making it the perfect time to make a lifesaving donation.

The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Training Center with ample personnel to keep waiting at a minimum. There is an urgent need for blood this year, as the healthcare system continues to deal with challenges caused by the COVID pandemic and other infectious disease outbreaks.

 

As always, if you have any questions about the drive, please do not hesitate to contact Union Hall at 617-787-5370 ext. 4 or via email at LU537UnionHall@Pipefitters537.com.
