Council Grove Blood Drive

The MCH Auxiliary will once again host this year's "Saving Lives One Pint at a Time" CBC Blood Drive, to be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, August 12th, at the CG Christian Church. As always, appointments are preferred, but walk ins are welcome.

As you know, the Community Blood Center-KC is the primary provider of blood and blood components to the 70+ hospitals and medical centers in the Kansas City region. This summer, the blood shortage has worsened to full-on emergency status (declared yesterday, July 15th). This is a HUGE PROBLEM!

So, to provide a cool incentive for blood donors, the CBC-KC will be giving coupons for ice cream or a cold drink to all who register at the upcoming August Blood Drive.

To receive a coupon for ice cream or a cold drink, please make an appointment to donate blood at the CG Blood Drive, set for Monday, August 12th, by calling, texting, or emailing me (620-767-2818 or boardman@tctelco.net) or visiting the CBC-KC’s website savealifenow.org/group (enter Sponsor Code: TPOU).  Donors will need to provide a photo ID at registration and drink plenty of water before donation. If there are medical eligibility questions, contact 1-800-688-0900.

If you want more info, contact 877-468-6844 (CBC main number).

Thanks for all of your much-needed community support.
