If you’re wondering how to help victims of the El Paso or Dayton shootings, here are some resources we found:
The Dayton Foundation has established the Dayton Oregon District Tragedy Fund and is accepting donations to help people impacted by this tragedy.
Donate to a charity: Money is always the most immediate need for victims. You can donate to groups like the American Red Cross (which has already mobilized staff and volunteers in El Paso).
Donate to victims’ funds: Some GoFundMe campaigns are already active, including a victims’ fund launched by Townsquare Media of El Paso with a goal of $500,000. Likewise, the El Paso Community Foundation created the El Paso Shooting Victims’ Fund, and the Paso del Norte Community Foundation created the El Paso Victims Relief Fund.
Give a tip: Police in Dayton are asking anyone who witnessed the shooting there to call its hotlines at 937-333-COPS or 937-225-6217 to help with the investigation.
Volunteer your time: The groups Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action have already staged a protest on the nation’s capitol yesterday to demand gun control. You can learn more about getting involved here.
Donate blood: In El Paso, Vitalant said yesterday that more than 240 units of blood have already gone out to victims, but they will need people’s help in replenishing supplies. Visit bloodhero.com or call 877-258-4825 to make an appointment. In Dayton, Police said they are working with the local blood bank to set up donation opportunities.
Demand action: You can call your member of Congress to voice your opinion on gun control. If enough of us call our representatives, change will eventually happen. Here’s how to contact Congress about gun control.
