ADK Blood Center, Stewart's Teaming Up for "Give a Pint, Get a Pint"

By NCPR News

The Adirondack Regional Blood Center and Stewart’s Shops are teaming up this month for “Give a Pint, Get a Pint.”

Donors who give blood at participating locations in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties will receive a certificate for a free pint of Stewart’s pre-packaged ice cream or gelato.

Demand for blood donations is accelerating here in the North Country and across the U.S. One donated pint can save up to three lives.

The Blood Center is sponsoring multiple drives throughout the region:

- 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11 at Massena Hospital

- 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12 at Plattsburgh Advanced Imaging

- 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24 at the Malone Fire Department
