I wanted to find ways we as a community could make a difference! As I have said we cannot express enough gratitude for all the kindness and hard work people have shown! It’s so sad to see all the destruction Harvey has caused yet amazing to see everyone come together to help each other. Here are some ways to volunteer and help with relief efforts.
Donating Blood by contacting American Blood Centers or American Red Cross to see where blood donations are needed. Blood Type O is needed all the time. We also pray for Las Vegas during this time and realize they need blood now.
