Kentucky environmental attorney Sanders says celebrate Earth Day by donating blood at Hoxworth Blood Center at University of Cincinnati.


Hoxworth Blood Center at the University of Cincinnati is celebrating Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22nd and encourages all individuals to donate blood to celebrate the gift of Mother Earth. Blood donors will receive a reusable shopping bag from Hoxworth. This reuseable shopping bag can serve many purposes from hauling groceries to home or carrying school supplies. Perhaps most important, it will help save the environment by eliminating plastic bags.

Donating blood is safe and easy. You must be at least 17 years old (*16 with a signed parental consent) and in good health. You must weigh at least 110 pounds and bring identification to donate. It is recommended that donors eat a good meal and drink plenty of water within four hours before donating. Please call (513) 451-0910 or (800) 830-1091 to schedule an appointment at a neighborhood Hoxworth Center.
