This week on Spotlight On Maryland, Austin Todd spoke with Ashley Henyan, Communications Director for the National Capital & Greater Chesapeake Region of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross is always helping those affected by natural disasters like the devastating tornadoes in Kentucky, the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, and now the nationwide blood shortage. They rely on mostly volunteers, and there are many ways for people to get involved. Volunteers are urgently needed. If you are interested in learning how to volunteer, you can learn more HERE.

Our nation is also experiencing a critical blood shortage. Austin and Ashley talked about the blood crisis and how you can schedule an appointment to make an impact today. To learn more about how you can help save lives by donating blood, you can visit RedCrossBlood.org.
Finally, the recent tornadoes in Kentucky and several winter storms have reminded us that it's important to be prepared for any natural disaster. March is Red Cross Month, and their Annual Disaster Preparedness Summit is coming up on March 24th. Anyone can register for the virtual event and it's free to attend.
