The New York Blood Center declared a blood emergency on Tuesday.

The New York Blood Center cited the summer heat, summer travel, and the rise in COVID-19 cases have caused a decrease in donations.

Organizers are now offering vouchers to a local brewery for a free pint of beer, wine, or cider, after donating a pint of blood.
