We have such a giving community. On Thursday, March 28, 51 people came out on this beautiful spring day at the El Dorado Springs Church of Christ to donate blood. The folks at the Blood Drive have extended hours due to the blood shortage and our goal was to collect 50 units. We had 51 people register to donate and we collected 45 units of blood. We cannot save lives without your precious gift! Thank you so much! Blood from your donations go to many Hospitals, including El Dorado Springs, Nevada, Bolivar, Joplin and Springfield.
