Not sure how to help your fellow American during this current crisis? One suggestion is by donating blood.

Supplies across the nation are low now, according to officials at the Community Blood Bank and American Red Cross. “We’ve never seen anything like this in the blood industry,” said Jaclyn Seymour, community relations specialist for the Community Blood Bank. “Whenever there is a national crisis, like 9-11, there is a huge response of people wanting to help. During 9-11, we had 400 blood donors here at our site in Erie (Pa.) alone. We saw a huge turnout after that of a massive scale of people wanting to help out.”
