The City of Hopkinsville is partnering with the Western Kentucky Regional Blood Center to host a blood drive on Friday to help replenish donations at the center.
The blood drive will take place in the Municipal Building parking lot in downtown Hopkinsville from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Friday. All blood donors will receive a free t-shirt. Donors must be at least 17 years old—16 year olds can give with parental permission—weigh at least 115 pounds and wait 56 days between donations.
Medications must be checked with staff before donating. All donors must show a photo ID and are advised to eat well before and after giving.
