In Saratoga Springs, Stewart's Shops and the American Red Cross have teamed up for their annual "Give A Pint, Get A Pint" campaign. Throughout June, individuals who donate blood will receive vouchers for a free pint of ice cream from any Stewart's location. This initiative aims to encourage blood donations during the summer months when contributions typically decline.
The American Red Cross emphasizes the importance of maintaining a steady blood supply, especially during summer, a period when donation rates often drop. To participate, donors can schedule an appointment by visiting redcrossblood.org.
Stewart's Shops, a popular convenience store chain, has been a long-time partner of the Red Cross in this campaign, offering a sweet incentive to those who contribute to saving lives. The collaboration highlights the community's role in supporting healthcare needs.
