Other Ways to Help

Donations of blood are crucial for patients served by area medical facilities but not everyone can donate blood. There are other ways you can partner with the Nebraska Community Blood Bank. Your time and dollars are also needed and gratefully accepted.

The Gift of Time: Being a NCBB volunteer has many rewards and is a great way to be involved in the community. Volunteers are needed in the following areas:

• Serve as Host/Hostess in the refreshment area at the 100 N. 84th Street location.
• Serve as Host/Hostess at blood drive events.
• Provide clerical support to the Communications Department.
• Represent NCBB at health fairs.
• Be the NCBB mascot, "Half-Pint," at area events. (Must be 14 years of age or older and at least 5'5" tall.)

The Gift of Dollars: Your financial contribution helps in a variety of ways from the purchase of needed items like vehicles and equipment, and the education of students and the public: our future volunteer blood donors.

With the continued technological advancement, the growth of area medical centers, and the advancements in medical treatments, financial donations help guarantee the Nebraska Community Blood Bank's commitment to "Excellence in Blood Services."
