The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is holding multiple blood drives throughout November and into December as part of the Abbott/Big Ten We Give Blood challenge.

Donors can sign up online for an appointment. Walk-ins will also be accepted as time allows. If you donated during the homecoming drive, you would be eligible to donate again during this drive. Help Nebraska boost its final numbers for the competition.

Please remember to eat a good meal and hydrate the night before and day of your donation. Blood donations are at a 20-year low, so please consider giving a pint.
