A blood drive will be held Friday in Middletown with the goal to replenish low supply.

Summer usually means a lower blood supply and greater need.

That's why state police and the New York Blood Center will host the drive at state police headquarters from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

One pint of blood can save up to three lives.

Walk ins will be accepted, but appointments are preferred.
