A deadly tornado practically destroyed the small town of Rolling Fork, Mississippi and the surrounding areas, killing dozens and leaving a community in need of help.

Orange County’s EMS Medical Director Dr. Christian Zuver spoke about his experience donating plasma after he recovered from COVID-19. “Many of the places where you would normally see blood drives – like high schools, college campuses and companies – are not at a point where they can host regular blood drives,” officials said. The need for blood and plasma is more urgent than it has ever been in recent history. “We live in a caring community and donating convalescent plasma is just one of those ways we can continue to help each other,” added Zuver. To donate convalescent plasma or blood, officials ask that you make an online appointment at OneBlood.org.
