It takes around 200 donations each day to meet the area's blood needs. You can help by giving blood at Allen's Food Market, 60 Sugar Creek Center, Wednesday, June 1, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Donors to Community Blood Center of the Ozarks provide all of the blood for patients at 39 area hospitals. On average, a transfusion takes place every seven minutes.
Each donation will be awarded LifePoints as a part of CBCO's donor rewards program. LifePoints may be redeemed online for a variety of gift cards, or points may be assigned to other meaningful causes or charities. More information on the LifePoints donor rewards program may be found at www.cbco.org.
