This is kind of a heads up to everyone that the only plasma donation center in town is closing in May. Grifols (the corporate owners) are closing some 30 centers across the country, one of which is the Asheville location, to "consolidate operations into higher-performing locations". The nearest locations for the same company are in Johnson City and Greenville, both of which are over an hour away. The closest location but operating by a different company, I believe is in Hendersonville.
I'm personally upset because one, it was a great side gig for making money. Getting paid to lay down and play on my phone for an hour twice a week beats driving Uber any day. But also because the team that works there are all amazing people and I hope they all find great new jobs that appreciate them.
