KBC offers hoodies to blood donors

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Blood donors who give at a Kentucky Blood Center donor center or blood drive through Friday, Jan. 8 will receive a black hoodie as a warm “thank you” for helping the post-holiday blood supply.

The Center says all blood types are needed in order to get the Kentucky blood supply back to the optimal level.

“Coming out of the holiday season which is a slower blood donation time and with several months of winter weather looming, it’s important to get the blood shelves stocked now. We think the black hoodies will be a fun item to receive and will come in handy right now,” said Martha Osborne, Executive Director of Marketing and Recruitment.
