Lexington Blood Drive is one of the lifesaving missions of the American Red Cross that serves our local hospital & other Midwest hospitals.

$500 goal

Almost everyone during their life will know someone who needs a blood transfusion. They may be in a car accident or trauma victims, cancer or transplant patients, or people with blood disorders. There is no substitute and still only one source of blood for transfusion - volunteer blood donors.

The Lexington Community Bloodmobile is normally held several times each year at multiple locations. Donors who make appointments or simply walk in are rewarded with the knowledge that they have saved up to three lives with each donation. Donors "recover" in the canteen area where they are offered donated rolls, sandwiches, cookies, and ice cream. During the cold months, donors and volunteers look forward to homemade chili that is funded by the contributions received during Give BIG Lexington. Stamps, postcards, and some canteen supplies are also covered by donations.

Lexington blood drives are a valuable source of blood for Central Nebraska especially during summer months when blood supplies become dangerously low. Every donor and volunteer help save lives and we try to make their experience a positive one.

Thank you for your support.
