Thousands of blood donations are needed each and every day to help treat accident victims, cancer patients, children with blood disorders and others. These patients rely on generous volunteer blood donors to help save and sustain their lives.

At least three extra donors are needed at all August blood drives, above what’s currently expected, for the Red Cross to readily meet hospital and patient needs this month and into the fall. Feel free to share the attached infographic along with blood drive information.

The Garden Club was initiated in 1934, and then became a Federated Garden Club of Nebraska in 1935. We are 77 years strong, with almost 50 active members currently, and the census continues to grow each month as we utilize various forms of electronic media.
