Blood donors can give Tuesday at Columbia Church of Christ Trauma season has led to an increase in transfusions while donor turnout has been in decline LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky Blood Center will host a blood drive at Columbia Church of Christ on Tuesday, August 8, offering donors an important opportunity to save lives at a critical time on the calendar. Tuesday, August 8 from 1-5:30 p.m. CST Columbia Church of Christ Fellowship Hall 501 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY It's trauma season in Kentucky, a period of months in the summer when good times and good weather usher in an increase in severe, life-threatening injuries. Traumas like car accidents can have a major impact on the blood supply, and KBC is currently experiencing an increase in blood transfusions while donor turnout lags. Traumas can often require more than 50 units of blood for a single patient. KBC is calling on Kentuckians to step up and save local patients' lives. As a thank you for donating blood, KBC will provide all donors with a "Give Local" T-shirt (while supplies last). Online appointments and reminders (emails and texts) are shown and made in EST. For example, if you make an appointment online for 2 p.m., please arrive at the blood drive at 1 p.m. CST. Blood donors must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds, be in general good health, show a photo I.D. and meet additional requirements. Sixteen-year-old donors must have a signed parental permission slip, which can be found at kybloodcenter.org. Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are welcome. To schedule a donation, visit kybloodcenter.org or call 800.775.2522.
