About Houchin

Together with our blood donors, community partners and volunteers, we change the world. 

Our Mission

We know that new things can be scary. Donating with us doesn’t have to be. Houchin Community Blood Bank is a local home-grown non-profit 501c3 organization that is proud to be a trusted part of our community. We have been providing Kern County hospitals and medical centers with blood, plasma, platelets and other life-saving products since 1951. Let us earn your trust. We would be honored to meet with you and explain the process of how easy it is to save lives and make a difference in someone’s world.
