American Red Cross holds blood drive at Sloan Convention Center

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Around 10:30 am, the American Red Cross set up a blood drive in the Sloan Convention Center.

Until 4:30 pm this afternoon, you can donate your time and blood to the Red Cross.

There is a check-in process where you have to display your I.D.

When you walk in, you’ll have paperwork to fill out if you’ve not donated before today.

Once your blood pressure is checked the donation part begins.

Red Cross staff express how important giving the gift of life is this time of year.

They were also glad to see so many come out already today.

As an added incentive to donate, the Red Cross will provide you a free long-sleeved t-shirt until January 6th.

If you are unable to donate today, there are plenty more opportunities to do so.

You can donate at the Sloan Convention Center every Friday until January 25th.

Those dates include December 28th, January 4th, 11th, and 18th.

The times are the same each week, 10:30 am until 4:30 pm.
