Check out this list of ways you can help those in Houston and comment with additional resources. We will update the article throughout the day with more ways to help. Donate blood Visit a blood bank at one of these locations in or around the Houston area.

Several local businesses are also hosting blood drives, including Giant Noise, located at 1208 E. Seventh St., Austin, which is hosting a blood drive Tuesday.
