North Augusta, SC – In a powerful show of community support, SRP Federal Credit Union collaborated with Shepeard Community Blood Center to host a blood drive at the SRP Administrative Campus on Oct. 7, resulting in enough donated pints to save up to 111 lives in the surrounding area.


A total of 44 donors visited the Shepeard Bloodmobile unit, successfully donating 37 pints: a significant increase from previous SRP blood drives. According to Shepeard Community Blood Center, a single pint of blood has the potential to save up to three lives.


Hosted quarterly, SRP’s community blood drives invite SRP employees and community members alike to give back in a meaningful way. The Bloodmobile welcomed 40 SRP team members and four non-employees, with at least six participants donating blood for the first time.


“The incredible turnout from our SRP ambassadors and our community at the blood drive speaks volumes for our team’s dedication to making a difference,” said Shana Reid, Chief Development Officer of SRP Federal Credit Union. “We are proud to stand alongside Shepeard Community Blood Center in supporting lifesaving donations for patients in our area.”
