December 22 and 29, 2023
Only at CBCO Donor Centers

The need for blood does not take a holiday, and neither does the need for blood donors. That’s why Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is looking for dedicated blood donors to help local hospital patients during our 29th Annual Miracle of Giving Blood Drive.

We know that life gets hectic over the holidays, but what better way to take a break from the holiday rush than to lie back, donate blood and give the gift of life? Your timely donation could help up to three local hospital patients, giving them and their loved ones a gift that lasts well beyond the holiday season!

Donate blood, plasma or platelets at one of our southwest Missouri or northwest Arkansas donor centers and receive all of these great rewards, while supplies last:

Because blood is perishable (it has a 42-day shelf life), it is important that we maintain adequate reserves at all times.

The holidays present a special challenge, not just because of competing activities during the season — but also because schools are out of session.

High school and college-age donors give more than one-third of the blood supply used in our community. That means donors like you are needed even more during the holidays!
