Area firefighters will joining forces with the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks for a special blood drive this Friday!

The blood drive will feature family activities, a hot dog cookout, prizes and a “hands on” CPR training class!

The CBCO is teaming up with the first responders to help keep the blood supply stocked.

Summertime it’s not uncommon for blood supplies to be low, since many donors go on vacation or are out of town.

“The Bleed Greene Blood Drive” is from 8 am until 6pm at 220 W. Plainview Road at the CBCO, Friday only!
