The Lancaster Township Police Department is proud to participate in the 2026 Bleed Blue Challenge, hosted by the Penn Medicine LGH Blood Donation Center, taking place January 2 through February 27, 2026.

Blood and plasma are critical, lifesaving resources that are always in short supply—and you can make a difference by donating! To add some fun, local police departments compete to see who can inspire the most community donations.

When you donate at any LGH blood drive event or at the LGH Blood Donation Center, be sure to mention you’re donating in support of the Lancaster Township Police Department! The department with the most donations by February 27th will receive the traveling Bleed Blue Challenge plaque. Lancaster City Bureau of Police took the title last year… but with this amazing community behind us, we know we can make a strong run for the top spot! 💙

We will be hosting a blood drive right here in town to make participation more convenient. However, if that date does not work for you, please see the attached calendars for additional blood drive dates and locations throughout January and February.
