The Russell County Community Blood Drive will take place today.
The community blood drive will take place from 11:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. at the South Kentucky RECC Community Room.
The Kentucky Blood Center said the need for blood is amplified during the winter months.
Weather-related cancellations and an uptick in illnesses can hamper collections.
First National Bank, Bank of Jamestown, and Southern Nest Realty are sponsoring three $100 gift cards for three winners.
