Thank you to all who came to donate blood at the El Dorado Springs Church of Christ on Thursday, September 9th. The folks at the Blood Drive had extended hours due to the blood shortage and our goal was to collect 40 units. Our community turned out during this busy time to support the CBCO Blood Drive! We had 49 people register to make a donation. We collected 36 units, thanks to our wonderful friends and neighbors! 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.
