GROVETOWN, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Shepeard Community Blood Center has opened a new donor center in Grovetown.
The new center, located at 290 Meridian Drive, is open seven days a week for blood and platelet donations.
A grand opening was held Wednesday at noon.
Shepeard also operates donor centers in Augusta, Evans, Aiken and Dublin, along with thousands of mobile blood drives each year.
