Local 23’s Blood Drive is officially scheduled for Saturday, November 7, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Valley View Hall, located at 9525 Sweet Valley Drive, Valley View, OH 44125.

We are looking for 50 members to sign up as donors. If you are interested in donating, please email or text Field Rep. Dave Greer at (440) 752-2821 or dgreer@bac23.org to reserve your spot.

Giving blood is a simple way to put union solidarity into action. Every donation can help a patient in need – from someone recovering from an accident to a family facing a serious illness. When we come together as a union, we have the power to make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors and strengthen the community we call home.

Both pantries gratefully accept monetary donations, but they’re also in need of essential items, including:

• Hygiene products: Body wash, shampoo, wipes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer, mouthwash, shaving cream, and razors.
• Cold-weather clothing: Coats, gloves, hats, thermal socks, long underwear, and blankets.
• Non-perishable food: Canned soup, vegetables, fruit, tuna (easy-open cans preferred), boxed mashed potatoes, boxed rice, peanut butter, jelly, pasta sauce, noodles, and ramen.

Do you want to double your impact? BAC Local 23 is pledging to match any monetary donation to the drive – that means you can DOUBLE your money. Donate $10 –> $20 goes to the drive.

Members can drop off donations at the union hall or give them to one of our field representatives. We will be accepting donations through November 13, at which time everything collected will be delivered to the pantries.
