Across the country, people should regularly donate blood if they are eligible to do so as supplies, especially of rarer blood types, can be quite limited. To find a blood drive near you, click here.
If you are unable to donate, consider volunteering at a blood drive.
Donate Money: The official GoFundMe for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting can be found here. The GoFundMe was started by Steve Sisolak, the Clark County Commission Chair. The funds from the GoFundMe will be used to assist the victims and their families of the shooting.
