The month of January is National Volunteer Blood Donor Month and the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is encouraging every abled body person to give. Chris Pilgrim with the CBCO said hundreds of blood donations are needed every month…

One traumatic injury could require multiple units of blood…..

Pilgrim said blood for a traumatic injury can use up the blood supply quickly. To find a blood drive in your area and to make an appointment go online to cbco.org and click on donate blood. On Friday there will be a blood drive in Lake Ozark at Christ the King Lutheran Church, there are also blood drives coming up at Conway and Buffalo High Schools.
