MACON, Ga. (WGXA) – With Hurricane Helene’s ongoing impact, the American Red Cross announced the need for Middle Georgia blood donors. The devastation of Hurricane Helene across the Southeast has led to a shortage of blood products. The Red Cross says over 100 blood drives have been canceled since the storm made landfall, causing thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. Donations are needed to keep the nationwide network stocked, especially with Hurricane Milton approaching Florida and expected to make a life-threatening impact.
