With the aftermath of the hurricane still affecting many Florida residents, the American Red Cross has had its hands full. Red Cross President and C.E.O. Gail McGovern is asking for donations from citizens throughout the country, including right here in Illinois.

While many Illinois residents may believe they have waited to long to give back, McGovern says that they will be spending much more time in Florida.

For more information on the Red Cross, or to donate your time, money, or blood, visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
