Thanks to the Local 825 members who volunteered to give blood yesterday at the NJ Training Center in Dayton. The 36 units of blood that were collected exceeded the organization’s goal of 25 units, according to Willie Vaccaro, Training Director.
The blood donated saves the lives of trauma victims, patients with blood disorders, cancer and many other life-threatening injuries and illnesses. Shortages occur throughout the year, especially in this area of the country.
The blood drive was conducted by Vitalant, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit blood and biotherapies healthcare organizations, providing hospitals and patients across the U.S. with a safe blood supply.
While we like to show a positive response from our Local and prefer members give blood during our drives, if you missed this one, you can look for a blood drive in your local community.
