How you can help –
Donate to the Victim’s Fund. This verified GoFundMe page has been set up by Las Vegas’s Clark County Commission Chair to assist the 400+ victims and their families.
Donate blood. United Blood Service is accepting blood donations from a variety of banks, and once a local branch meet their needs, they are permitted to send blood to Las Vegas. O negative, O positive, and platelets are most dire right now. Here is a list of the Greenville Blood Connection centers.
