Residents are urged to give blood to help in the wake of Hurricane Florence, according to the American Red Cross.
Nearly 200 Red Cross blood drives in the Southeast were forced to cancel, resulting in more than 5,200 uncollected blood and platelet donations, according to a spokesman.
One upcoming Red Cross blood drive in Wyandotte County will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 3 at Wyandot Inc., 1301 N. 47th St., Kansas City, Kansas.
Appointments can be made by using the Blood Donor app, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
