Donors can receive a gift card and a “peachy” T-shirt as well as a chance at a year of free groceries at the Kentucky Blood Center’s blood drive on Friday, Aug. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Harrodsburg Christian Church Fellowship Hall (305 South Main Street).
Donors will be entered to win groceries for an entire year.
Kentucky Blood Center’s Summer of Saving will conclude in August with a grand prize giveaway of free groceries for a year. One lucky donor who gives blood Aug. 1–31 will win 52 $200 gift cards to Kroger (or a grocery store determined by Kentucky Blood Center in the donor’s area). Rules and conditions can be found at kybloodcenter.org/events/summer-of-saving-win-free-groceries-for-a-year.
All donors will receive a $15 Walmart gift card and a “Stay Peachy” T-shirt (while supplies last).
Blood donations historically dwindle during the summer because of warm-weather activities, family vacations and no school. The need for blood doesn’t take a break, however, and transfusion levels often increase as donation frequency decreases.
Blood donors must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good general 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.
