Just called, they are \_Not for Profit\_. The guy was helpful and gave me a few other options to try, so hopefully one will work.

I just called the center not even 2 minutes ago and the lady was very short and rude. WOW!

I called and asked about selling my Plasma and the guy who answered was rude and said they didn't do that. When asked if he knew where, he quickly responded \_I Have No Idea\_ and hung up.
