Tehachapi’s next blood and platelet drive will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 12, at Tehachapi Vineyard Church, 502 E. Pinon St.
Reserve a time to donate by signing up on the HCBB website at bit.ly/3i5rztR.
Houchin Community Blood Bank will be on hand with two buses and extra staff to help it run smoothly and quickly for donors, organizer Key Budge said. The building will be open so donors can stay out of the winter elements while waiting to donate. Platelet and plasma donations are collected in the comfort of a classroom inside the church.
Houchin Community Blood Bank, Tehachapi Vineyard Church, Tehachapi Valley Healthcare District and the city of Tehachapi will work together on the blood drive.
“The need for blood donations is constant in Kern County and we are committed to help where we can,” Budge said. “Partnering with these organizations has been great, and we all thank everyone for donating.”
He added that more than 1,200 people from Tehachapi have donated blood at the drives since For more information call Budge at 822-2200, ext. 119, or send email to: kbudge@tehachapicityhall.com.
