WASHINGTON — When disaster strikes, Americans always want to know what they can do to help. One organization is encouraging people to roll up their sleeves.
AABB, a not-for-profit association, is urging eligible blood donors to along the East Coast to make a blood donation as soon as possible.
The blood supply along the Carolina Coast is not low, but donations will be thrown off because the storm will cancel blood drives. A surge in donations in surrounding areas will ensure there is an adequate blood supply during the storm and after it’s over.
