Spread the Love Blood Drive

Do something for perfect strangers this Valentine’s season by donating the gift of life, and receive a great gift in return. More than 40 local hospitals count on us for the blood, platelets, and plasma their patients need. You can help by participating in our Spread the Love Blood Drive February 1 – 5, 2021, only at CBCO’s four donor centers located in Springfield, MO; Joplin, MO; Bentonville, AR; and Springdale, AR.

When you donate, you’ll receive an great T-shirt that shows off the fact that you are a blood donor (while supplies last). Plus your name will go into a drawing for a $500 gift certificate from Justice Jewelers in Springfield, Missouri.

Why donate blood with CBCO? Because local patients need blood and blood products. CBCO is the sole provider of blood and blood products at more than 40 hospitals in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas, and southeast Kansas. Curious about which hospitals rely on CBCO? Click HERE to see a list.
