Where Tradition and the New Millennium Meet


New Blood Donor Coach Arrived January 2004
Sign Up Your Business or Organization Today!

We'd like to thank the many Chittenden County businesses who embraced our old Donor Coach when it arrived in July 2002. Businesses in particular appreciate the convenience and flexibility of a new "vehicle" for blood donation.

New ARC Donor Coach arrived January 04

Above is our brand new Blood Donor Coach which arrived January 2004. This shiny new vehicle replaces our old coach - a vehicle we've long since outgrown! The old coach was extremely popular among small businesses and highly populated areas like shopping malls, so the new one is sure to be a real crowd pleaser!

Anyone interested in touring the new coach is welcome to join us for refreshments and information.To schedule the donor coach, or for more details, email Rita Walker at walkerri@usa.redcross.org or call 658-6400, ext. 3244.

Give us a call. We're anxious to have our new Donor Coach come to a parking lot near you!
