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.

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!

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...

For #GivingTuesday we humbly request you consider us for part of your giving. 2025 has been a terrible year for fundraising for all non-profits, including us; we've had to make many cuts, with more to come. Help us keep providing queer community in Central VT.

RBCC needs you! We need #volunteers for our fiscal and fundraising committees (among other things) to help us keep in 'business' - the business of #community. These are low-demand requests - as little as a few hours a year. Experience is helpful, but not required - just time and energy. DM us!
