Blood Drives

Would you like to organize a blood drive for your organization or business? It is a rewarding activity that yields life-saving benefits for all involved.

Hosting a blood drive with the NCBB helps guarantee the blood will be there for our community and the patients served by area hospitals.

The Nebraska Community Blood Bank partners with over 200 sponsor groups each year through the blood drive program. Blood drives can be held at any of the four Nebraska Community Blood Bank locations or at a location of your choice.

What does a sponsor group do?

Selects or provides the location.
Recruits donors from their group or community.
Schedules appointments for donors.
Publicizes the event with posters and news releases.
Provides volunteer helpers the day of the drive to help load equipment.
Organize refreshments. This could be an ideal way for those unable to donate to also be a part!

What does the Nebraska Community Blood Bank provide?

A representative who will...
- Work with you to plan your blood drive.
- Help you determine your goal and give you suggestions on how to reach it.
All recruitment materials including:

Posters.
News releases.
Reminder cards.

A contact list of previous blood donors in the area or at your business.
All of our own equipment. Tables and chairs are the only items needed.
