Every blood donation makes a difference right here in our community. Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is the exclusive provider of blood to area hospitals—and supplies the blood products carried by TCAD Paramedics. When you donate with CBCO, you are helping make lifesaving blood available when and where it is needed most, including before a critically injured or ill patient ever reaches the hospital.

🦦 And this drive comes with a pretty great thank-you! While supplies last, all donors will receive a FREE “You Otter Give Blood” T-shirt AND TWO admissions to Dickerson Park Zoo!

Appointments are encouraged. Call 417-227-5006 or visit www.cbco.org/donate-blood to schedule.

Come donate, help keep our regional blood supply strong, and you just might help us save a life on our next call. 🚑❤️

You Otter Give Blood! 🦦🩸
