Field guide

Three ways
to give.

One prairie habit, three different gifts. Each one is collected here in Omaha and sent to the hospitals that need it.

Whole blood

The donation most people start with. Your unit is collected, tested, and typed, then sent to hospitals around the Omaha area.

Book whole blood

Platelets

Collected on their own with an apheresis machine, which returns your other blood components to you as you give.

Book platelets

Plasma

The liquid part of your blood, collected by apheresis and used in treatments for patients who need it.

Book plasma

Mobile drives

Bring the drive to your block.

Schools, employers, and community groups across the Omaha area host Prairie Line mobile drives. You bring the space and the people; our team brings the collection equipment and the staff.
