Even with a very full schedule this time of year, Santa still made time to save lives 🎅🩸

Between toy deliveries, cookie breaks, and checking his list twice, he rolled up his sleeve to help patients who rely on lifesaving blood every day. If Santa can find the time, so can you! Join him in spreading a little extra holiday cheer by donating blood. It’s one gift that truly makes a difference.

Laura learned the importance of giving blood by watching her father lead by example. With 50 lifetime donations, he showed her what it means to give back. Now, Laura is proudly continuing that legacy.

Reaching her 50th donation was especially meaningful for Laura, knowing she’s honoring her father and carrying on the family tradition of generosity. Together, Laura and her dad have helped more than 300 patients, proving that one family’s commitment can make an incredible impact. ❤️

Our hearts are with Providence today. 💔

We are devastated by the news of the mass shooting, and our thoughts are with all those impacted — the victims, their loved ones, and the first responders.

Hospitals rely on a ready supply during emergencies, and your donation can save lives. If you are eligible, please consider donating blood to help ensure hospitals have the lifesaving supply they need.

Are you part of the Platelet Pact!? Join us to donate platelets twice before February 5 and you’ll receive your choice of a premium puffer vest or a gift card as our thank-you! Donate additional times and score even more gift cards. Registration required ➡️ ncbb.org/pact

Platelets have a shelf life of just 5-7 days, which means we rely on regular donors to keep hospitals stocked and patients cared for.

But the blood center is so delightful
And since we've no place to go

Cold outside? We’ve got the perfect reason to come in from the chill.

We’re excited to share that our latest blood drive at the State Capitol collected 40 units of blood, enough to save the lives of up to 120 patients!

Every donor who took time out of their day to roll up a sleeve helped make a real difference for those in our community. Your generosity keeps our blood supply strong and gives hope when it’s needed most. ❤️

Hey Huskers! 🏈❤️ Don't forget, the We Give Blood drive wraps up THIS FRIDAY!

Don’t wait until the last minute. Grab your friends, roll up your sleeves, and help us finish strong against Wisconsin. Nebraska fans don’t just cheer — they give back.

Nebraska is in a close race with Wisconsin in Abbott's 2025 Big Ten We Give Blood challenge. Huskers can still make a difference through Dec. 5 at campus drives or by logging any donation. Every pint helps save lives and counts toward reclaiming the title.

This Giving Tuesday, choose to give life. ❤️

The United States relies entirely on volunteer donors for our blood supply, yet only about 3% of eligible Americans give blood each year. That means thousands of patients — from trauma victims to cancer patients, expecting mothers to accident survivors — depend on generous people donating throughout the year.

Today, we’re asking you to help add to that 3%. When you don’t have time or money for a big donation, giving a pint of blood is a powerful, and immediate way to make an impact.

Here’s everything you wanted to know about blood donation
