The New York Blood Center held a blood drive at the Jamesport Fire Department Wednesday evening.

Anyone over the age of 21 who donated blood received a free pint of beer from Trade Winds Brewery.

"Our banks have been low for quite some time," says New York Blood Center team leader Susan Callis. "It's been a difficult time, but things are looking up. As long as we continue on this upswing, we will get out of our urgency for the need."

Anyone under 21 who donated blood received a McDonald's voucher.
