Buy A Mile
We invite you to join our "Buy A Mile" campaign for 2025! Bluebird Bus of Hope covers 948 miles every year just to reach our four bus stop locations. With each mile costing $50 due to our annual budget and expenses, your support is crucial for us to thrive in 2025.
Consider sponsoring a mile to help us continue our vital service. Do you have a loved one in one of the towns we serve, or did you grow up there? You can choose to sponsor miles specifically for a town close to your heart. For instance, it takes 20 miles to reach New Richmond, 26 miles to get to Goshen, 19 miles to Amelia, and 14 miles to Williamsburg. Your contribution will ensure we can keep bringing hope and support to these communities.
Help us make every mile count and drive towards a brighter future together!
