BLOOD DRIVE PATIENT

Kentucky Blood Center

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Patients need blood and the Kentucky Blood Center wants to reward any donors who step forward.

On Thursday, July 6, and Friday, July 7, anyone who donates at one of its centers will get a $20 Amazon gift card.

It's part of KBC's donor appreciation days.

The organization says Independence Day puts a strain on the local blood supply, because of low donor turnout and an uptick in trauma-related transfusions.

Appointments are preferred for donating blood, but walk-ins are still welcome.

KBC locations in our area include centers in Middletown, Hillview and Frankfort.
