The Ohio Benefit Bank is proud to feature the Mobile Express, a van that can bring the Benefit Bank to anywhere in the state of Ohio with a view of the Southern sky.

Remarks by Douglas F. Kridler,
President & CEO

The Mobile Express features a satellite dish that allows counselors to access the Benefit Bank from anywhere within fifty feet of the van. With electrical outlets, an awning, and a set of collapsible chairs and a table, creating an outdoor mobile office is a snap. The inside of the van also features two offices for a higher level of privacy as well as two printers. With a refrigerator, we can even keep your pop cold while you’re applying for benefits!

If you are interested in having a Benefit Bank presence at an event or if you just have some questions, we urge you to contact Russell Allen. He will able to answer any questions you have and will work to get the Mobile Express to your event. Please do give us at least two weeks notice, the schedule fills up fast!

If you’re simply interested in the day-to-day travels of the van, please check out our blog. There you can read about the people that have been touched by the Benefit Bank and get an idea of what life on the road in Ohio is really like.
