The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks has Blood Drives scheduled in the region over the next two days.

According to press releases from the CBCO, drives are being held today in Harrison in the Fellowship Hall of First Christian Church from 12-6 pm and Wednesday in Hollister at the Main Office of the Branson Tri-Lakes News from 11:00 am to 5 pm.

The CBCO says in their releases that less than a one-day supply of most blood types are available while blood transfusions continue to take place at a record rate. The turnout at many area blood drives is still being negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic according to the releases.

More information about other opportunities to donate blood can be found at the CBCO Website.
