Donate blood Tuesday, April 19, at Church of Christ

Blood donors have a chance to help others Tuesday, April 19 from noon to 5pm at Columbia's Church of Christ. Kentucky Blood Center needs local donors to help boost blood supply.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Provide a ray of sunshine this spring and join Kentucky Blood Center's ongoing efforts to alleviate a national and local blood shortage. KBC is encouraging donors to roll up their sleeves and give blood this spring. Every day, KBC needs more than 400 people to donate blood daily to supply the more than 70 hospitals it serves.

Due to recent weather and the continued impact of the pandemic, the need is greater than ever. When you donate, KBC can supply blood for cancer treatments, premature births, car accidents, diseases, surgeries and more.



When donors spring into action at this local blood drive, they will receive this great "Most Likely to Save Lives" T-shirt.
