Give a little time and save many lives

PINE PLAINS — With the month of January recognized as National Blood Donor Month, area residents were encouraged to donate their time (and blood) to those in need by stopping the blood drive held inside the Stissing Mountain High School gymnasium on Thursday, Jan. 14. Organized by the New York Blood Center. The blood drive ran from 2 to 6:30 p.m. 

To remain in compliance with COVID-19 safety guidelines, donors and attendants wore face masks, temperatures were taken and donors were kept apart from one another. Halfway through the event, organizers reported that an estimated 15 people had dropped by to make a donation.
