About Us
Coffee Memorial Blood Center was charted as a nonprofit corporation in the State of Texas as the Potter County Memorial Blood Center on December 23, 1949, under the auspices of the Potter-Randall County Medical Society. The first unit of blood was collected on February 8, 1950, in the office of T. P. Churchill, M.D. The first permanent site of the blood center was built and equipped by the Golding-Meadows Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, situated adjacent to the Post on West Eighth Avenue. The cost of that five-room building was $14,000 and was leased to the blood center for $1 per year.
