If you’re looking to make a difference in your community, donating blood with the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is a great way to do it.
The CBCO is the sole provider of blood, platelets and plasma to over 40 hospitals in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas and southeast Kansas.
Your donation can help save the lives of up to three people right here in the Ozarks. And for a limited time, we’re rewarding all donors who are Hungry to Help our neighbors, friends and loved ones by offering a chance to win one of dozens of $150 gift cards to a grocery store or restaurant of their choice.
Roll up your sleeve and give the gift of life to your community!
While supplies last, successful donors will receive a “Donut Forget” to Give Blood T-Shirt. Blood donors will also be entered into our weekday drawing for a $150 gift card to a grocery store or restaurant of their choice. (Some restrictions apply, visit https://www.cbco.org/hungrytohelp for details.) Plus, successful donors will receive LifePoints which can be redeemed in our online Donor Rewards portal for gift cards to local shops or restaurants.
  . .
For every blood, plasma or platelet donation during the Hungry to Help Blood Drive, CBCO will donate a new item of clothing to a local charity. By donating blood, you’re not only helping hospital patients. You’re supporting charitable organizations committed to helping our communities.
