Grand Opening and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for San Diego Blood Bank Chula Vista Terra Nova Since 2020, this is the third new, permanent San Diego Blood Bank location to open including the Liberty Station Donor Center in Point Loma and the Irvine Business District Location operating as Southern California Blood Bank in Orange County. Through philanthropy and partnership with generous financial supporters, the location is equipped with vital equipment and supplies like Trima systems for apheresis donations, HemoFlows, blood bags and more. Thank you to the San Diego Woman's Club for your investment in life and for generously funding blood donation chairs that quite literally support blood donors during every donation-helping to save thousands of lives each year. Blood donors are welcome Tuesday through Saturday, and you will find us near the clock tower between D’Lish Gourmet Pasta and Pizza and the Locksmith. San Diego Blood Bank is proud to celebrate the grand opening of the Chula Vista Terra Nova donation location, which opened its doors officially on May 31, 2022. It has been more than a decade since SDBB operated out of a permanent location in South Bay, closing the National City location in 1994. The temporary site enabled San Diego Blood Bank to continue collecting but the team is extremely excited to have a fully built-out donation location for local blood donors to call home. First, San Diego Blood Bank (SDBB) opened a temporary site inside the old Sears building on the West side of H street and within a few months moved to its second temporary donation site on East H St next to Marshalls inside the Terra Nova Plaza shopping center. The city of Chula Vista now has its own permanent San Diego Blood Bank donation location! During the pandemic, the need for more locations was necessary amid mandated shutdowns and blood drive cancellations.
