This July the Pizza Is on Us!

The Southcoast Blood Bank at St. Luke’s Hospital has teamed up with area Domino’s Pizza stores in a “Pizza for a Pint” promotion during the month of July.

Anyone who donates blood at the Southcoast Blood Bank at St. Luke’s Hospital, or at any of the community blood drives hosted by the Southcoast Blood Bank, will receive a certificate for a free, large, one-topping pizza redeemable at any Domino’s in Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton, Somerset, Swansea and Wareham. The offer is good for any pick-up order or can be combined with a home delivery order. The certificate will not be recognized for home delivery orders of a large, one-topping pizza alone.

The Southcoast Blood Bank is the only blood donation venue that directly supports the South Coast communities’ blood supply. When you donate blood at a Southcoastsponsored blood drive, you are helping to keep your local blood supply strong — so it is there when you need it.

“Domino’s pizza is proud to partner with our local community blood bank during the month of July when the need for blood donations is the greatest,” said Nelson Hockert-Lotz, owner of the Domino’s Pizza stores on Kempton Street and Rockdale Avenue in New Bedford.

Seven franchise owners from the area joined Hockert-Lotz, making the offer good throughout Bristol County and Wareham.

The Southcoast Blood Bank is located at St. Luke’s Hospital, 101 Page Street, New Bedford, off the main lobby. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
