IERNA’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing (Lutz, FL) started the new year off with a curbside blood drive, partnering with Florida-based blood donation center OneBlood on January 5th. Collecting more than 20 pints of whole blood, IERNA’s was determined to begin 2021 with a bang during their first of many charitable events throughout the year.
According to American Red Cross, one blood donation can potentially save up to three lives. Less than 38 percent of the population is eligible to give blood or platelets, giving rise to the importance of volunteer donors.
“IERNA’s has always been a family and community-oriented company,” said Charlene Ierna, Owner and President of the company. Each donor was given a long-sleeve t-shirt, restaurant voucher, $20 gift card as well as a wellness checkup including a COVID-19 antibody test. IERNA’s was on-site handing out their own swag including custom hand-sanitizer pens.
Donation appointments are available on a first-come first-serve basis and are open to the public. Follow IERNA’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing on social media to be notified about their next blood drive on April 1st.
