Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and the American Red Cross provides about 40% of the nation’s supply. Our blood services Community Emergency Vehicles are critical to this mission.
We replace approximately 370 blood services vehicles every year to make sure everyone gets the lifesaving blood they need. In our Southwest Washington Chapter, we need to purchase a new Ford Transit Connect vehicle for our blood fleet at a cost of $30,000.
Any funds raised over our $35,500 target will go towards the Cascades Region Blood Fleet program.
- The Community Emergency Vehicle will transport blood from processing, testing and, storage centers and deliver it to patients in need at hospitals and cancer treatment centers in our Southwest Washington Chapter.
- The Community Emergency Vehicle will also provide emergency delivery of rare blood and urgent blood to hospitals experiencing a shortage.
