As the nation grapples with the horrifying school shooting in South Florida, there are ways to help.

You can donate to funds for the victims and the families by clicking here.

Broward Education Foundation is the only 501(c)3 direct support organization solely dedicated to raising funds for Broward County Public Schools. The foundation set up a GoFundMe which had raised nearly $2 million as of Thursday afternoon.

For those in the Florida area, you can also help by donating blood.

OneBlood has sent additional units of blood to the Broward County hospitals still treating the injured, and are asking for help to replenish the supply.

They are appealing for donations of the universal blood type O-negative at donation centers to replenish supplies. Appointments are recommended and can be made here.
