Cascade Regional Blood Services’ bloodmobiles are getting around with an eye-catching new look.
Previously painted blue with pictures of children on the sides, bloodmobiles now sport the red, black and white design that’s used by the agency in its marketing.
“We wanted a modern look that better reflected Cascade Regional Blood Services,” said Christine Swinehart, president of the organization that supplies hospitals in Pierce County and the south King County area.
Nearly 60 percent of the blood is donated at community-sponsored blood drives through bloodmobiles.
Fund-raising that began in 2013 helped pay for refurbishing the fleet of bloodmobiles and the purchase of a new vehicle. “We are so grateful to our community for its support,” Swinehart said.
