LEXINGTON, KY – Only you can prevent blood shortages, and that starts by donating blood at an upcoming Kentucky Blood Center blood drive in your community.

Blood cannot be manufactured. That means the health of the blood supply – and the patients who rely on it for a variety of needs – is entirely dependent on donors giving blood at drives like this one.

A Russell County Community Blood Drive will be held on Thursday, July 23, 2026 from 11:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. at the South Ky RECC Community Room, 2405 N Main St, Jamestown, KY.  One lucky donor will win a $100 gift card sponsored by Hubbard’s Building Supply in Russell Springs!

Donors will receive a limited-edition “Only You Can Prevent Blood Shortages” T-shirt (while supplies last) as a thank you for doing their part to ensure a healthy blood supply.

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.

Blood donors must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, show a photo I.D. and meet additional requirements. Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are welcome. To schedule a donation, visit kybloodcenter.org or call 800.775.2522.

Please note: 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.
