A handful of opportunities remain for people to donate blood to the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks at a drive in the Lakes Region.

Friday, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Branson West will hold a drive from Noon until 6:00 pm.

Next week, drives in the region include one at the Inn of the Ozarks in Eureka Springs on Tuesday and at the Southern Heights Baptist Church in Berryville on Thursday.

Two final drives before Christmas will take place on December 21, one at Branson City Hall and the other at Cox Hospital in Monett.

The CBCO continues to urge blood donations for the continuing increase in demand at area hospitals with the approaching Holiday Season.

More information on donating can be found on the CBCO Website.
