Shepeard Community Blood Center
Shepeard Ends COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Program
Seeking Whole Blood and Platelet Donors
Due to overwhelming support from our community, Shepeard Community Blood Center is no longer collecting COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma donations. Thank you to everyone who donated and allowed us to supply our local hospitals with the lifesaving products they need.
We ask that you continue to donate with Shepeard. While we do not need plasma at this time, we are always in need of whole blood and platelet donors. Call us at 706-737-4551 to schedule an appointment or to ask any questions.
Shepeard Community Blood Center is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit blood center. Our mission is to collect, process, and distribute blood and blood products. We are the provider for over 20 hospitals in 30 counties across the two-state area.
Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person - the gift of life. A decision to donate your blood can save a life, or even several if your blood is separated into its components - red cells, platelets and plasma - which can be used individually for patients with specific conditions.
