Easthampton Fire Department Schedules Community Blood Drive for June 29
EASTHAMPTON — The Easthampton Fire Department is calling on residents to roll up their sleeves ahead of a community blood drive later this month, while the town has also posted a new job opening — the lightest news cycle of the week so far.
TOWN HALL
The Easthampton Fire Department announced Monday that it will host a blood drive on June 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the fire station at 32 Payson Avenue, in partnership with the Baystate Health Blood Donor Program. Donors are encouraged to plan ahead; summer months typically see a drop in blood supply as regular donors travel. No additional details on scheduling an appointment were included in the announcement, but residents can check the town's News Flash page for updates.
