Interesting. I went over to Community General Oesteopathic Hospital (just outside Harrisburg) yesterday and donated a pint (I had been planning to donate at a local blood drive in a few weeks, but this sped up my schedule).
They had to turn people away because they were becoming too busy. They had no idea that this was going to happen and that so many people would turn out when it did.
If you DO donate, please remember to do it again -- it's needed even when there are NOT disasters.
