Today's the day you become a superhero! No, don't step into that radioactive sludge - just come to RBCC, donate a pint of blood with the @americanredcross.bsky.social, and save a few lives! We don't have capes to give away but we do have long-sleeve T-shirts, which is better anyway in this cold.
January 2, 2026 at 11:50 AM
Today is the last day to preregister and get an appointment for tomorrow's @americanredcross.bsky.social blood drive at RBCC - it gets you in and out quicker, and helps the Red Cross prepare. Do a RapidPass too for even more time saved. And come to our first Coffee Klatch of the year at 2:30!
January 1, 2026 at 1:56 PM
We're getting ready for our big @americanredcross.bsky.social blood drive on Friday - moving furniture and putting up flyers. We just found out they will be giving out long-sleeved shirts to donors. Make an appointment and do a RapidPass to get through quick: www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/dr...

We're happy to report we've raised $1,000 in December. Sadly this means matching funds are no longer available. But if you're considering giving back this year, RBCC still needs your support, as we seek new ways to keep building queer community and joy in 2026! givebutter.com/rainbow-brid...
December 13, 2025 at 1:42 PM
If you haven't already signed up, the time is nigh to sign up for Monday evening's Potluck for the People, a community sit-down dinner at RBCC! Let us know if you're coming so we can be sure to have enough for everyone (but no waste).

It might not still be Giving Tuesday, but, hey, it's Tuesday, and RBCC still needs your help! Nonbinary Coding is still matching funds for all donations made during December, up to $1000, so your contribution will be worth double in helping us foster community and queer joy in Central Vermont.
