EVANSVILLE, IN June 4, 2025 – Teamsters Local Union 215 will host a community blood drive in association with the American Red Cross on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. inside Teamster’s Whobrey Hall located at 825 Walnut Street, Evansville, Indiana.

“Local 215 is committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations,” said Earl Brown, President and Business Manager of Teamsters Local Union 215, “This blood drive is our way of giving union members and their friends and families an opportunity to help save lives.”
Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross.
President Brown also says, “We urge members and everyone else to donate blood and help ensure that patients in local hospitals have a supply of blood ready and waiting before an emergency occurs. There’s no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life.”
According to the Red Cross, donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative.
