Both elected officials, who represent some of the same areas in Delaware County, wanted to create an event during Black History Month that had a meaningful impact on the community. “When people think about Black History Month, they often focus on recognizing the past accomplishments of notable African Americans,” said Senator Kearney. “I also believe you can celebrate Black history by supporting the great work black and diverse people are doing in local communities. This event gave entrepreneurs and small business owners the chance to feel supported by providing them with much-needed resources from experts and networking opportunities with reputable companies interested in contracting with black and diverse businesses.” “As Black History Month 2022 concludes, I had the honor of partnering with Senator Kearney to highlight the importance of Read more

(Feb 17, 2022)

SPRINGFIELD, PA (February 15, 2022) – Rep. Gina H. Curry (D–Delaware) joined Senator Tim Kearney (D–Delaware/Chester) on Friday to host a blood drive at the East Lansdowne Borough Hall in response to the current blood crisis facing our nation. Thanks to the overwhelming amount of volunteers who donated at the drive, 31 pints of blood were collected, surpassing the event goal of 20 pints, which will save the lives of 93 local hospital patients. “The American Red Cross is facing a national blood shortage crisis,” said Rep. Curry. “This crisis is our crisis. The need is real! We are excited to have reached our blood donation goal. Let’s continue to do our part.” “Given the dire need for blood in our country and our past success with blood drives, we knew hosting another drive would be the right thing to do,” said Senator Kearney. “We want to be a part of the solution and this event is one way that we can all step up and do our part.” In January, the American Red Cross declared the nation’s first-ever blood crisis amid the Omicron Surge. Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, the Red Cross has experienced a 10% decline in the number of people donating blood, forcing doctors to delay critical transfusion for people in need. “T he American Red Cross has been facing dire blood inventory challenges for Read more
