It only takes low donor turnout or a busy day at the hospital to turn a healthy blood supply into a critical shortage. Don't put patients at risk. Schedule your blood donation today at Kentucky Blood Center. 

All donors who give with KBC July 6 through Aug. 31 will receive a "Only You Can Prevent Blood Shortages" T-shirt. 

Patients in Central and Eastern Kentucky count on KBC donors. Kentucky Blood Center provides blood to more than 70 local hospitals. Unfortunately, blood donations often decrease in the summer because of warm-weather activities, family vacations and no school. 

Click the donor center or mobile drive links below or call 800.775.2522 to schedule your appointment. 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.
