Give the Gift of Life

Community Blood Center of the Ozarks, the sole supplier of blood, platelets, and plasma to patients at more than 40 hospitals, encourages community members to wrap up the year by saving lives. Give the gift of life by donating at the blood drive in El Dorado Springs on Thursday, December 4. Donors will receive a limited-edition cozy fleece blanket, while supplies last.

Community Blood Center of the Ozarks donors provide all the blood for patients at Cedar County Memorial Hospital, as well as over 40 other healthcare facilities across the Ozarks. El Dorado Springs area residents will have the opportunity to donate at the following location:

Community Blood Drive

Church of Christ Fellowship Hall

302 E. Hospital Rd., ElDo

Thursday, Dec. 4

12 to 6 p.m.

“The need for blood often increases during the winter months and holiday season” said Michelle Teter, Media Relations Representative at CBCO. “In just one hour, you can give the most meaningful gift of the season, the gift of life. Every donation offers hope, healing, and a second chance at life. Your selfless gift lingers long after the holidays, and it may be the reason someone gets to go home to their family.”

Appointments are strongly encouraged to help reduce wait times. To schedule a donation, visit https://www.cbco.org/donate-blood/ or call 417-227-5006.

On behalf of local hospital patients, Community Blood Center of the Ozarks thanks blood donors from across the region for giving life to your community. CBCO wishes all donors a holiday season filled with joy, warmth, and peace.
