May is Habitat For Humanity Month!

May is Habitat For Humanity month at Community Blood Center of the Ozarks!

We’re focusing on each of our 10 non-profit LifePoints Lift partner agencies throughout the year, to help educate the public on the vital work that they each perform.

LifePoints and LifePoints Lift

When you donate blood at CBCO and sign up for our LifePoints rewards program, you’ll receive LifePoints as a “Thank you” gift each time you donate. When it’s time to redeem your LifePoints, you have the option of giving them to one of our ten LifePoints Lift partner agencies. CBCO converts them to cash and sends it to the non-profits.

It’s a great way to help two non-profits at the same time — CBCO with your lifesaving gift of blood and Habitat For Humanity with your LifePoints which allows the organization to work toward its mission to help homeowners achieve strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

You’ll receive LifePoints for your donations all year round, and you can give your LifePoints to one of our agency partners at any time. Not just in May. But May is our time to share information about Habitat For Humanity.

About Community Blood Center of the Ozarks

Founded in 1995, CBCO has grown to serve 40 counties in three states and is the sole supplier of blood and blood products to more than hospitals in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas, and southeast Kansas, including all children’s and veterans hospitals.

More than 65,000 donations of blood are required each year to meet the transfusion needs of our friends and neighbors. We at CBCO take the responsibility of providing that blood very seriously.

Our mission states that we will achieve this goal in a timely manner, at the lowest reasonable fee, while remaining accountable to the local community, blood donors and health care providers. With your help, we can accomplish this goal each and every day.
