Kathi Reed spent about 20 minutes Tuesday afternoon relaxing in a chair at the Western Kentucky Regional Blood Center on South Virginia Street drinking a Coca-Cola while giving her one-pint donation.
The Hopkinsville High School business teacher estimates she has donated about 5 gallons of blood at the center through the years.
âItâs one of those things you can do to give back to your community,â she said. âThereâs a lot of things people do â they give money, they give time. As a teacher I stay incredibly busy and give a lot of extra time to my students, but this is a way I can give back to the community at large.â
Blood Bank of Hawaii says only about 200 of the more than 22,000 residents who ve tested positive for COVID-19 have donated their plasma the yellow, liquid part of blood that contains antibodies.
