July is Ozarks Food Harvest Month at Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. That means when you donate blood in July, CBCO will TRIPLE the value of your LifePoints donation to Ozarks Food Harvest.

You earn LifePoints each time you donate blood, plasma or platelets at CBCO, and you can donate those LifePoints to the charity of your choice. CBCO will convert donated LifePoints to cash for your chosen nonprofit. You can donate LifePoints at any time, but in July 2025, your donations to Ozarks Food Harvest will go three times as far. Plus, you have a chance to win awesome prizes!

We’re grateful for our partnership with CBCO and the lifesaving work they do in the Ozarks. Thank you for showing your support and saving lives by donating blood.

Sign up to donate at cbco.org.

To redeem LifePoints to Ozarks Food Harvest, visit cbco.org/lifepointsliftdonation or call 417-227-5006.
