Where Tradition and the New Millennium Meet


Maine's Donor Coaches Available
Coming To A Parking Lot Near You!

Schedule the Red Cross Donor Coach today!

The Red Cross Blood Services in Maine has two self-contained donor coaches available for small blood drives. The coaches can be used at businesses too small to be considered for traditional blood drives, or for companies without adequate indoor space. Additionally, the donor coaches are ideal for festivals and other events around the state.

Depicted below is our donor coach headquartered in Portland, along with guidelines for its use. A smaller coach is available in the Bangor area. We are pleased to have these two "vehicles" available to Maine citizens, making blood donation more convenient than ever before. To schedule the Donor Coach, just give us a call at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.
