This holiday season, we’re reaching out for your help in supporting an 18-month-old cancer patient who is receiving weekly platelet transfusions. While we specifically need platelet donations for this patient, all donation procedures are encouraged, as many children in similar situations also depend on donations for their treatments. Your generosity can bring hope and joy to these children and their families this Christmas. A small act of kindness can make a big difference. Thank you for considering this gift of life. https://lnkd.in/gWkU38qG #GiftOfLife #BloodDonation #GiveHope #TheBloodCenter

About us
Founded in 1960, The Blood Center is the primary supplier of blood, blood components and plasma derivatives to local hospitals throughout South Louisiana and Southern Mississippit. We are a non-profit, community service organization guided by a volunteer Board of Trustees, comprised of community leaders and hospital representatives. The Blood Center is licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration, accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks, and is a member of America's Blood Centers, Blood Center of America and The South Central Association of Blood Banks. As well as being the primary blood provider to hospitals in South Louisiana and South Mississippi, The Blood Center is a member affiliate of America's Blood Centers (ABC), North America's largest network of community-based blood providers that supplies half of the United States volunteer donor blood supply. ABC members were first to respond to national tragedies like Oklahoma City, Columbine and 9/11. Our mission is to provide a quality supply of blood components to meet the needs of the communities served by The Blood Center, and to provide the technical support needed by the blood banking profession to achieve the highest safety and ethical standards.

Today is #GivingTuesday! What better gift than the gift of life? With #Friendsgiving & #Thanksgiving behind us, think of your loved ones today and donate blood. Did you know that one in three individuals will require blood at some point, yet only 3% of the population donates?

Such a powerful full circle story about what we do every day. Blood donors genuinely make a difference! When you give with The Blood Center, your blood stays here to help LOCAL patients like Tim. Visit our Hattiesburg, Richton, or Columbia locations today to start saving lives, or call us at 800-86-BLOOD to discuss how your school, business, civic or religious organization can make a difference in our community's blood needs.
Meet Tim Brock, our Director of Plant Operations-Engineering at Forrest Health. Earlier this year, Tim found himself needing life-saving blood due to a rare condition. Thanks to the tireless efforts of The Blood Center, we were able to find the blood with the exact antibodies he needed. Without it, Tim’s story might have been very different. At Forrest General, we use over 1,000 blood products monthly for trauma patients, heart surgeries, emergency procedures, and more. The Blood Center plays a critical role in keeping our community supplied with the blood we need. Blood donated here stays here to help our friends, family, and neighbors in the Hattiesburg area. 🗓️ Mark your calendars: Our next Blood Drive is January 14-15, 2025! We need your help to save lives like Tim's. One pint of blood can save up to 3 lives! You can make a difference. Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q02Th33W0
