How is blood donation connected to disaster relief? When Hurricane Matthew struck, roughly 100 blood drives in the Southeast had to be cancelled. So we're especially thankful to the many who are answering the urgent call for blood and platelet donations. If you're in an area unaffected by the storm, please visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS today.
