As a COVID-19 survivor, you have the chance to be a hero for those in the Dayton area suffering from the effects of the illness. Give your antibody-rich COVID convalescent plasma (CCP) through the Community Blood Center and it will be used to help critically ill Coronavirus patients heal.
You've got a lot of fight in you.
Current research into the use of CCP suggests it is a safe and effective therapy that reduces the length and severity of COVID-19 illness. There are multiple for-profit plasma centers in the Miami Valley that use plasma donations for research and development purposes.
As a non-profit blood center, Community Blood Center's CCP donations are transfused directly to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients in the Dayton area.
How CCP is used
“I feel like if I can help somebody then that’s one less person who might die from it. I mean this is essentially like a fight. We have to fight back, and convalescent plasma is one of the fighting mechanisms.”
You can be a hero to critically ill COVID-19 patients. Donate CCP and help make more survivors just like you.

Donor Safety
Community Blood Center is taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of donors and staff by implementing social distancing measures and increased infection control protocols. Prior to donation, all blood donors will have their temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and hemoglobin levels checked to ensure their well-being and eligibility to donate. COVID-19 is not known to be transmitted by transfusion of blood and blood components.
A healthy blood supply is vital to our community. If you are not eligible to donate CCP, you may still be able to make a donation of whole blood.
