TEHACHAPI, Calif. (KERO) — The City of Tehachapi is helping the Rotary Club of Tehachapi with their Twelve Days of Christmas food drive for senior citizens.
Tehachapi City Hall is one of several drop-off sites for non-perishable food items through Dec. 14.
More than 100 boxes filled with food were donated last year.
“We are so blessed to have a group like our Rotarians who are reaching out to our senior community. It just makes me feel warm inside to see a sincere need being filled with love and compassion during the holiday season,” said Tehachapi City Councilmember Christina Scrivner, in a press release.
The Rotary Club created a 12-day plan to make it easy for people to donate what they can. They have provided a list of 24 food items, two items each day that they would like to put in each box to a Tehachapi senior.
Food items can be dropped off from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday at Tehachapi City Hall, 115 S. Robinson St.
Other drop-off sites include the Loop Newspaper and the Tehachapi News offices.
Monetary donations can be sent to Tehachapi Rotary Club, PO Box 897, Tehachapi Ca. 93581.
