Although we are hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas, there are still many ways people living in Northeast Wisconsin can help after the mass shooting that left at least 58 people dead and more than 500 hurt.

At this time, Las Vegas hospitals have not requested blood from out of state, and so Wisconsin blood centers are not sending donations to Nevada.

Nonetheless, if you plan to be in the Las Vegas area, here is where you can donate blood:
