The St. Joseph The Worker parish at 510 Narragansett Avenue in East Patchogue posted an Event listing to Patch about their drive, which will run from 2 p.m.-8 p.m. According to the page, all donors will receive either a free ticket to the Hamptons Classic Horse Show or free food from McDonald's. There is also a raffle for the Super Bowl in February.

The Aflac location at 2799 Route 112 in Medford is hosting a drive Monday from 1 p.m.-7 p.m. According to an online flyer for the drive, they will also be offering free admission for a carload to the Hampton Classic, entrance into a drawing for the Super Bowl in February, buy one get one free offer for the Long Island Ducks and a raffle for a VIP experience for the Hampton Classic.

All three blood drives will allow participants to help save lives, regardless of incentive.
