Thank you to all who came to donate blood at the El Dorado Springs Church of Christ on Thursday, January 27th. The folks at the Blood Drive had extended hours due to the blood shortage and our goal was to collect 40 units. Our community really turned out during this busy time to support the CBCO Blood Drive! We had 55 people register to make a donation. We collected 46 units, thanks to everyone in our community! We appreciate each of you coming out to give your donation. We cannot save lives without your life-saving gift! Thank you so much! Blood from your donations go to many Hospitals, including El Dorado Springs, Nevada, Bolivar, Joplin and Springfield.
