The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks will host a blood drive from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Friday, May 16, at Texas County Memorial Hospital.
CBCO has issued a code yellow alert for Type O Negative blood. There is less than a two-day supply on hospital shelves.
Eligible donors should weigh at least 110 pounds and be in general good health. Proof of identification is required for first-time donors. CBCO says it needs the public’s help to meet the growing need for blood in the Ozarks.
