What We Offer

Ways you can give

Whether it's your first time or you're a regular donor, we have a place for you.

Whole Blood Donation

The most common type of donation. A single donation can save up to three lives — perfect for first-timers and seasoned donors alike.

Platelet Donation

Platelets are critical for cancer and surgery patients. The process takes a bit longer, but the impact is immeasurable.

Double Red Cell

A targeted donation that collects twice the red cells. Ideal for O-positive donors — we call you "double O hero."

Community Events

We host blood drives at schools, workplaces, and community centers throughout Northern Kentucky. Bring your group together for a cause.

Health Screening

Every visit includes a quick health check — temperature, pulse, hemoglobin, and blood pressure. Your wellness matters to us too.

Plasma & More

Plasma donations support burn victims, immune disorders, and emergency care. It's a simple process with extraordinary results.
