Toyota Material Handling<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0ongoing partnership with the American Red Cross continues to be a catalyst for good in communities the company serves through the introduction of a one-of-a-kind, co-branded bloodmobile unit.<\/p>\n

Toyota associates and community leaders gathered recently for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the organization\u2019s Columbus-based headquarters to formally introduce the new bloodmobile, made possible, in part, by Toyota<\/a>\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

The state-of-the-art vehicle is fitted to accommodate four donors simultaneously, with an annual collection capacity of approximately 30,000 units of blood. The new bloodmobile is designed to account for COVID requirements and is the first unit in the United States equipped with solar panels, reinforcing Toyota<\/a> Industries Corporation\u2019s (TICO) Vision 2030\u00a0goal to reduce the company\u2019s carbon footprint. The state-of-the-art mobile blood collection unit will support the greater southern Indiana region.<\/p>\n

\u201cToyota<\/a>\u2019s collaboration with the Red Cross reflects our culture of kaizen \u2013 or continuous improvement \u2013 while impacting countless lives throughout North America,\u201d said Bill Finerty, Toyota Material Handling<\/a> President and CEO. \u201cThis unique bloodmobile is the next step in our joint dedication to sustainably serving our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a former ICU and emergency department nurse, I know firsthand the importance of giving blood,\u201d said Terry Stigdon, Chief Executive Officer of the American Red Cross. \u201cThis is a testament to the American Red Cross reducing our carbon footprint and part of our sustainability program. I thank Toyota Material Handling<\/a> for coming alongside us to help us do this very important work while also doing what we can to protect and support the changing environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toyota<\/a> formalized its relationship with the Red Cross in 2018 in Southern Indiana. Today the partnership\u2019s impact can be felt throughout North America as thousands of Toyota<\/a> associates and dealers work together to create a nationwide network of passionate Red Cross supporters.<\/p>\n

Toyota Material Handling\u2019s\u00a0ongoing partnership with the American Red Cross continues to be a catalyst for good in communities the company serves through the introduction of a one-of-a-kind, co-branded bloodmobile unit.<\/p><\/div>\n

The company contributes resources to aid Red Cross projects nationwide, including financial support, forklift safety and operation training, natural disaster relief, equipment donations, and more. Notably, in the midst of Hurricane Ian\u2019s devastation last year, Toyota<\/a> took charge of assisting Red Cross community restoration efforts by donating the use of 43 material handling equipment units and providing a $100,000 donation. In addition, Toyota<\/a> associates sprang into action and donated 84 units of blood dedicated to victims of the disaster. Since 2020, Toyota associates have donated over 1,500 units of blood to the American Red Cross, impacting more than 2,500 lives.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, Toyota<\/a> supports the Red Cross through corporate giving and a heightened level of volunteerism. The company provides office associates 16 hours of paid volunteer time each year, while shop associates receive eight hours of paid volunteer time. A percentage of those hours are earmarked for the Red Cross, fulfilling Toyota<\/a>\u2019s mantra of \u201cHelping People Carry the Load.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Toyota Material Handling<\/a>, our dedication to the community is an integral part of our DNA,\u201d said Tracy Stachniak, Toyota Material Handling<\/a> Vice President of Human Resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes beyond our daily operations and extends to the very heart of the communities we serve. Our partnership with the American Red Cross stands as a testament to that dedication, reflecting our belief in giving back to the communities that have supported us for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fortunate to live in a time and a place where the human resources can be brought to bear for life\u2019s sake and for better health,\u201d said Cindy Frey, President of the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce. \u201cIt is a real pleasure for the chamber to be a part of this dedication today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
