Helene forced the Red Cross to cancel about 100 blood drives, and more are expected to be canceled because of Milton’s impact. It’s putting a strain on the blood supply nationwide, and the Red Cross is in crucial need of blood donations.

Less than two weeks since Hurricane Helene left many states devastated, Hurricane Milton is just days away from making landfall on Florida’s west coast. Now, the American Red Cross serving Northwest Arkansas is asking people across the region to step in and fill a vital need.
