The Central Illinois Community Blood Center is actively looking for folks who have tested positive for COVID-19 to give convalescent plasma. Interested donors can go to bloodcenter.org/cp to view eligibility criteria and get started with the approval process. You’ll need to click the red Self-Referral button. Convalescent plasma donors must be pre-approved and scheduled by the blood center. No-self schedules are allowed for this type of donation. As a “thank-you” all convalescent plasma donors will receive a $35 e-gift card (Potential convalescent plasma donors must meet criteria to be eligible for this e-gift card).

If you are not eligible for convalescent plasma donation, but still wish to help out through a blood donation, LLCC Student Life invites you to join them for their in-center blood drive Jan. 25-30.
