With Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida and the gulf coast, the American Association of Blood Banks Interorganizational Task Force is urging eligible blood donors to make donation appointments as soon as possible to assist those in need.

Danielle West with LifeServe Blood Center tells KNIA News they are donating the current blood supply down to the Florida area to help those in need, and that puts our current blood supply in need of assistance from the public.
