Donate Blood

Blood centers throughout the country have experienced a significant drop in donations, and Baton Rouge has been no exception.

Donate Plasma

Baton Rouge General is participating in the FDA’s Expanded Access to Convalescent Plasma program(CCP) that is lead by the Mayo Clinic, and is looking for donors. If you’ve survived COVID-19, you may be able to help others fight the virus by donating plasma.

You can donate blood or plasma today at the LifeShare Blood Center - Baton Rouge on Essen Lane.

Donate Supplies

Supplies needed:

• Masks (N95 masks, Procedure masks, Surgical masks, Cloth masks)
• Face shields

Make a Financial Donation

Many have asked how they can best support the front line, therefore the Baton Rouge General Foundation has established a COVID-19 Operations Fund. This fund will allow our team to work directly with hospital leaders who understand best what is needed each day.
