WESTFIELD – On Tuesday Sept. 5 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m Westfield City Hall will be hosting a blood drive sponsored by the Baystate Health Bloodmobile.
According to Amy Benson, a recruiter for the blood donor program at Baystate, eligible donors at the drive will receive a free Big E ticket. The 2017 Big E begins on Sept. 15 and ends on Oct. 1 with Westfield Day being Thursday September 28th.
Besides the blood donations helping locally in Westfield, Benson wants to remind the community that they can help the victims of Hurricane Harvey in South Texas by donating blood to their local hospitals. By donating, the national blood supply won’t be as burdened. Exactly 100% of the blood that Baystate collects stays right in the health system at Baystate.
“The more we collect the less we burden the national supply,” said Benson in the press release.
