Blood drive opportunity slated in Wheaton March 13
March 6, 2019
Most negative blood types are in short supply.
Winter weather continues to hamper the local blood supply. Over 200 potential donations last week were lost due to icy conditions that resulted in school closings. Currently, Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) reports less than a three day supply of all negative blood types. With the weather affecting donation rates, all blood types are needed this week. Please give if you are eligible.
CBCO is the sole local provider of blood for patients at more than 40 area hospitals in southwest Missouri, northwest Arkansas and southeast Kansas. Sick and injured hospital patients depend on CBCO donors to provide the lifesaving blood they need.
You can help by giving blood at this upcoming blood drive:
Wheaton on Wednesday, March 13, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Wheaton High School, 116 McCall.
Each donation will be awarded LifePoints as a part of CBCO’s donor rewards program. LifePoints may be redeemed online for a variety of gift cards, or points may be assigned to other meaningful causes or charities. More information on the LifePoints donor rewards program may be found at www.cbco.org.
To be eligible to give blood, you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and present a valid photo ID. For more information about sharing your good health with others, please visit our website at www.cbco.org, or call toll-free 1-800-280-5337. Thank you for giving life to your community.
