I suggest everyone call their local hospital and Red Cross center and find out if a local blood drive has been organized. I just called mine and they hadn't done anything yet. They are now checking on doing that. I said we shouldn't wait until blood is being called for and needed. We should organize to get it now so that it is available when calls come to them for it. We need to get them thinking ahead. There will be many people in NY and maybe DC needing blood. Let's make sure it's there for them and they don't have to wait for it.
Thank you for posting this thread. We should all take you suggestions very seriously and act on them immediately.
I called at 7.30a.m. Someone said they would get back to me. Nothing yet.
But I can and will make a cash donation.
